Prediction:
55% yes on TA; it passes, and the company laughs at the divided crew force and realization that next round of negotiations will be a cakewalk as they dictate the terms.
Not sure how it will go... but I hope it's either a big "yes" or a resounding "no."

It seems optimal, from a mgt perspective, that TAs which pass 51%-49% are the ones where mgt paid "just enough" to "get er dun" --- and that's what they are hoping for.
A majority "No" vote is the only vote that will get their attention.

NoHaz is right. The Union doesn't have to worry. There are enough short sighted people out there to provide a simple majority with the vote. They have been salivating like Pavlov's dog since they saw that massive 3% raise and huge 1% lump sum signing bonus......all the way back to Nov' 10.

Just take the darn vote! That will be the most accurate poll. Why waist money on an outside poll. What good is that info now.....the cat's out of the proverbial bag!

Wow, I hope it's not a "big yes" --- that will clearly signal to the company that they "overpaid" --- even at this paltry price --- and they will hold out for even less in the future.
