Commando,
I think you are within the margin for error. +/-5%. I'd put money on it. I doubt there will be any single item that will rally the masses against. Giving up profit sharing was a very tangible and quantifiable issue that rallied the Delta pilots against.
I have not read it and am not saying I'd vote for it.

If you follow closely what happened at Delta there were multiple issues with their TA --- the biggest of all was general.
Why are we giving concessions in a time of record profits, industry consolidation, low oil prices, high consumer demand & a pilot shortage..???
Additionally, their MEC made a very hard sell to the pilots, and painted a gloomy picture on what would happen if they voted it down
Yes --- members of their own MEC spoke directly in a very threatening manner
More specifically, they were going to give concessions not only on Profit Sharing, but also....
-Scope via Joint Ventures
-Sick Leave via 3rd Party Verification
- FO trips flown with LCAs for IOE
...and a few other areas
Basically, their pilot group stood up and said "no concessions" in this economic environment
Especially after giving up so much when they were threatened with bankruptcy
