my only comment on the substance of this ta has been only that it is no where near the bad deal the first one was. which i would think is a near universal conclusion among the group.
you are right....its not productive to engage in endless 'what ifs' on the language. otoh...it is essential one consider potential outcomes with two intellectual boundaries.....first, what is the probability of a considered outcome, and second....what quality of contractual provisions are integrated to either allow, or prohibit the considered outcome.

To be sure, this is both much better than the other TA, but some areas disappoint compared to what one might want. The question is where it falls relative to what one might reasonably expect.
I hate the idea of VB's, at first glance. They have no upside for me, only downside. TDY is possibly even worse. But perhaps they are good for a number of commuters? I think we could possibly try them, but I also think we are going to want to watch the tests very, very closely.

That's fair, and I would add that you have to consider the cost/time (interchangeable) and likelihood of obtaining a more favorable contract, as well as the risk of getting a worse contract. This thing isn't being developed in a vacuum.

nobody said it would be easy.

Absolutely.
Who knew they would roll over after 10 minutes in office?
A new record.
They are just getting warmed up. After the contract it will be concessionary side letter after concessionary side letter.
More 76 seat jets to DCI
Korean JV
Aeromexico JV
And on and on and on
