Default Poll: New TA

I'm voting YES and taking the money while its being offered.

I'm voting NO and rolling the dice down the road because our crack negotiating team will win in the future just like they won with the current contract and this TA.

I'm not deciding, let alone voting, until:
1) The final language is actually written and IF a TA passes the MEC
- and -
2) I have a chance to actually read it---and yes, I'm assuming the current rumors are approximately correct

We can't take a poll based on a rumor. We all need to read it first or atleast get a hint.

No stake in it, but internet "polls" don't mean a thing anyway...not random, very limited audience.

It's a good idea to take a poll, but when you slant the question with your opinion, it has no chance of gaging actual thoughts on the subject.

The entire idea was to prove a point. We keep talking about how we will get these improvements "next time". Well we didn't get them in C2012, we didn't get them in this TA, so what makes you think a NO vote will result in getting them on the next one.

Yes, there is risk in accepting this TA. There is also risk in not accepting this TA.

In 2 years we could have a terrible economy and be losing money when we open contract negotiations. We could also be making $8B per year in profits and glad that we weren't still locked into 4 more years of C2016.
