This whole thing is turning into such a total crap show. I talk to pilots from both sides of the company and all I hear is "these guys are a bunch of babies" "these guys are dragging their feet" "have you ever talked to those guys? They're a bunch of chest thumpers or greedy bastards". Honestly though, when ever I ask someone have YOU ever actually interacted with someone from the other side of the group they say no. It's always, I heard it from this other guy in reccurrent who heard it from a flight attendant and so on.

We are all pilots with the same license flying the same passengers in the same sky. We all deserve the same no matter what company you work for. Honestly it appalls me how incredibly immature our union has been through all of this. If there is anyone that deserves a finger pointing it's the union. I have personally interacted with individuals that deal with contract negotiations and I don't even feel confident in their ability to fly an airplane never mind determine the fate of the worlds largest regional carrier.
