At SWA the recent TA failed by less than 100 votes out of 6000. FO's voted it down by 60%, CA's voted for it by 59%. Lots of bad blood between the senior CAs that just wanted money and no QOL improvements since they already had the QOL and the Junior FOs. Luckily for us we have tons of other issues that have come up, so the angst has subsided. My point is a properly educated and motivated group can do what is right for the younger folks.
