I'm all for rallying the troops and using sentiment to your advantage to put pressure on the company but some of the guys picking up RSA are just trying to make the best of a contract that fell short of their expectations and they voted against.
Also, as a side note, why wasn't there more of a push to get rid of RSA's with the contract if it's a negative thing when guys do them? We know that there's always going to be someone doing them. There was even guys high up in ALPA doing RSA's during negotiations so.....

Still a waste. Should never have remained in the contract. We'll have global open time. Then premium global open time (150%). Then VDA (200%).
There's VDA for the senior guys and premium open time to give the junior guys a chance to pick up above base rate. WTF would anyone do RSAs once the entire contract is implemented. It should have been eliminated with this contract. I guess we asked and they said no. Again.
