We (AS) were in a similar position, but the TA was a lot closer to big three and it passed with a solid margin.

I was actually confident that the folks who said "we can do better" were correct. But in hindsight if we had turned it down, we might have just been wrapping up TA 2.0 in late 2023 / early 2024... if it wasn't finished on the day the door plug came off, the company would have picked their offer up off the table and walked out of the room, never to return.

We'd still be in negotiations today, with a 2017 pay scale and no PBS, attrition halted, and over-staffed. Oopsie.
