It's time to flex and change or you will never change.
The initial contract was done under an old leadership of the Airline Division and Local 747 and was a disgrace. That's why Local 747 no longer exists and there is new leadership in the Airline Division. It's also one of the reasons that FAPA is having a cow...because there is leadership that won't let them (FAPA) steamroll the other pilot groups; and when they tried to cut a side deal, they got sued and will probably lose their backsides on it.
If you were at Eagle for 23 years, you know how archaic the NMB can be. Nothing is over and there is a lot more to the picture.
