Don't know the current ROE. In past similar events at ALPA carriers the line pilots got a beer. Given the potential liability exposure, I'd bet D-ALPA keeps a pretty tight lid on the refreshments.
Pizza's cheaper than beer. D-ALPA should try what management does and talk the Credit Union into paying for it

Sink,
First of all, I disagree with your premise - a PRO vs. CON paper does not necessarily expose differences within. But going along with your scenario, if the vote is 10-4 (hypothetical) to forward to membership for approval don't you want to hear why the 4 voted no? Conversely the vote can be uananimous to forward, but this does not mean every Rep likes everything about it.
I agree the internet and this forum will serve a sort of PRO vs. CON function, but I would prefer an official one via the negotiating committee. While there is some great information on this thread there is also a lot of chaff.

And it should only up exponentially from there.

Just me guessing, but if there were four "No" votes, I suspect they would send it back to the company to make them yes" votes. It also depends on who the "no" votes are, but that many makes their position significant.

ACL,
That was just hypothetical. But if there are differences of opinion within the MEC or Negotiating committee why shouldn't the Pilot group be made aware of them?
But I am getting off point which was - I think a Pro vs. Con paper by those most familiar with ramifications of the TA would be helpful.

Just me, but I assume that if there is a TA, everyone will know that the MEC is meeting to discuss it. If your scenario comes true, I am sure we will be made aware that they are taking it back. We may not know the vote count at that time, but we probably will know the rest.
FWIW, a few reps have stated that they will demand a recorded vote on the TA so that all reps are held accountable for their vote.
