What facts are you referring to that are "coming out"? I review the FAQs on a daily basis to see what has been asked and how it is answered...from what I've seen, there are no real surprises. You (and Commando) seem to infer that there are numerous "givebacks" in article 13 that outweigh the obvious gains. What are they?

What does it matter? Ten more years of living at workers paradise! Just do me this favor, don't call it industry leading, there is nothing in it that is raising the bar!

Industry leading healthcare, no one is disputing that. Retirement, ok tied for first then??? Pay, definitely not lowering the bar (and FX's lowball TA hurt us, don't forget that). Rest of the contract, maybe in a runner up position but there's many who can't even see the podium.

There's a big difference in the contracts SWA and delta voted down as compared to ours. Might want to investigate that and come to terms with, 'we got what we asked for.'

Shaggy,

What do you consider industry leading? I think the highest pay, highest guarantee, best healthcare, best retirement (by the end of the contract, number 2 till then) and the ability to take two months completely off during a year is industry leading to me.

But what do I know, I'm a glass half full kinda guy...which are you?

What questions do you have besides the rhetorical ones?
I have posed questions that have not been answered yet also. Maybe they will, maybe they won't, but asking you does no good unless you are an EB member.

They say all questions are answered jointly so anything answered here is rubbish.

Hilarious. Unfortunately you've used up all your troll coins on your previous posts here at APC. If you have concerns about the TA I suggest you attend the road show and tell BT directly how you feel. Have you or are you planning on it?

Find a troll post.

I pointed out areas that are lacking. I haven't said yes or no. I have asked questioned that haven't been answered. I haven't said it's great or awful. Tell me wise one, how do I feel? You and 7576 are cheerleading for it. You've even posted on Delta threads about it. Apparently if someone questions anything as opposed to getting in line, they must be silenced. Just look at the B&G.

Actually Blender is onto something.. Days after the TA was announced one of our jumpseaters predicted we'd see brand spanking new accounts on different message boards spreading the TA propaganda. Guess he was right.
