I get what you're saying though. Sorry, but I believe it when the dALPA guys say that pay pay pay was at the top of the list in the survey. (Standing by for incoming) and that many of the other things were not as strongly advocated. They had to make choices. This is not a pro TA missive either. What concerns me that going forward is that NOTHING is negotiable in the minds of many. Contrary to what His Royal Highness Carl says, compromise and concession are one in the same on these boards.
I know I am arguing semantics.

These guys complaining about "lost monies" (is that different then "lost money", or just more pompous-sounding?) are being disingenuous when they fail to acknowledge "gained QOL" (and possibly "gained leverage") as a part of the equation.
There were "opportunity costs" of foregoing NA15. But these were more than offset by "opportunity benefits." That's why it failed.

Actually that's the exact opposite of a line-item veto.
