When the lagging TA comes, and it will, if the more engaged members of the pilot group, especially the newer members of the pilot group, assume that it will, of course, get voted down because, duh, everyone can see how lagging it is, they are setting themselves up for another decade or so of living under a substandard contract. Fighting the passage of a second-rate TA will require a monumental effort by the engaged members (like people who post on pilot forums). And even with a monumental effort, a sub-par TA may pass muster with this pilot group because of the overall lacking of a clue that has prevailed here for five decades.
