Attitude and discussion here and elsewhere are a reflection of the thankfully failed TA. I think the root cause of the failure was from the NC/MEC putting 90% of the value into the a-plan bump. I've seen that estimate be as low as 45% of the TAs value, but given that (to me) there was almost nothing else in the TA that was industry-leading or an improvement over 2015, it was WAY too high of a percentage. And the discussion since then seems to break down into two camps. One that wants desperately to hold onto the a-plan gains at all costs in TA1.1. And another who wants to EITHER leverage more $$$ from the company OR wants to dial back the a-plan GAINS so the rest of the TA isn't a farce. I haven't seen the discussion that wants to take away your a-plan yet.

Nowhere in it did it devalue the pension OTHER than for those remaining on property through the next contract(s).

As far as unity is concerned, the name calling, character assassination and intolerance of those that don’t agree with your world view is profound.
You want to talk about unity? Let’s look at the language Anthrax uses to attack people having a discussion he doesn’t agree with. Seriously…pull up some of his quotes. He’s not an ambassador for unity by any stretch. He doubled and tripled down on his comments when I ask him to make himself clear. He clumsily tried to backpedal when he realized it might be for a deposition, he made like “ I’m just joking, bro”.
i really don’t care about his ugliness, just using it as an example.
You use the concept of unity as a foil to promote your agenda with the skill of a mentally deficient bludgeoner.
Do you really believe in the concept of “Unity” that you espoused, or are you stuck with parroting buz-words you were taught to string together.
if you believe in all this Unity, why haven’t you called out people that share your viewpoint when they step out of line? Are you afraid of your bronies criticizing you?
by the way, I’m here for at least two more contracts.

Many people didn't get to bid last time around. Will they get to bid this time?
