I've spoke with many people who have gone to the road shows and participated in the conference calls and actually are going to make an educated decision, most of the people who fall into that category are going to vote yes. I'm not saying I know if it's going to pass or not but I know it's going to be a lot closer than most think.
Undguy,
I tend to agree that it will be a lot closer than everyone will think on the TA. Most people I know have said no but I have an incline that they are saying no but will actually vote yes. I think the TA will pass.
I don't like your logic that says the contractual language is no good but it is still industry standard so we should vote yes. If the contractual language is no good then the contract cannot be industry standard. Perhaps the intent is industry standard but without the language to back it up it just isn't.
Let's just say the company and ALPA agree on the intent, then it should be a quick and easy step to have the language modified to reflect the true intent.
I'll post more on my TA thread later today or tomorrow to prevent a highjacking of this one.
