If you are not willing to walk....you will never get a better contract. The investors in Pinnacle would rather make some than nothing.
This is really a worst case scenario...
Have some faith that the negotiating team can get us a good TA. Pinnacle wants it done so they can move the planes to Pinnacle as well as merge Colgan/Mesaba into the new Mesaba. I think it will get done, perhaps not Nov. 15th, but I am sure we will be voting on a TA soon.
