Obviously everybody has their red line and if that's yours, great.
Personally i wouldn't be willing to fly under current book for another 9 months or more over $4000.
Furthermore if the TA fails they're going to poll the pilot group to find out why. (According to Jody at the DAL roadshow) You would need a majority of the pilots polled to say 401K contribution on the retro should be 17% as opposed to 15%. Otherwise you would be right back in the same boat for TA2, wouldn't you?
When you have "beeper available" in current book, that's enough for me. Current book doesn't keep up with the way this place operates anymore. Between planning and execution their are almost 40% more restrictions than current book. On top of that, we are forcing the company to invest in needed IT for US! Something that should have been done a decade ago.
