To the nc: (does not deserve capital letters).
I know you will sell this TA with everything you have. You have made that clear.
I hope you do not succeed in stunning our pilots into submission with fear tactics, misleading figures and financial assumptions, so that we roll over and vote in this concessionary, industry-lagging, divisive settlement that you call a TA. An agreement with degraded Scope protections that will allow for other carriers to carry OUR freight on OUR ramps, year round - even while potentially having our pilots out on furlough!
Please, consider doing the honorable thing. Resign from your positions and return to the line before you destroy our QOL, along with the rest of my career here.
If the upcoming fearmongering from your Road Shows gets this this TA to pass, I will have to consider starting somewhere else. 14 years in with 20 to go.

In fact much of the lanuage in our contract is wishy-washy in general.

Like it or not, DE Shaw and McKinsey are in the henhouse now.
