Yep, I read it the same way.

"We have an opportunity to"
- not "We WILL"

"cement gains"
- not "negotiate for significant gains" (What does this mean, btw? Aren't our current gains already cemented by way of our existing contract?)

"put into motion"
- not "set a new precedent with Contract 2015"

"the kind of"
- weak speak - ALPA is so good to always leave themselves an out

"long-term, upward trajectory"
- In other words, ain't gonna happen on this contract, but maybe next time.

"that our pilots have told us so many times they desire;"
- through a top secret survey we would sooner die than release to the pilots lest they become aware they don't stand alone in their high expectations

"to put the keystone....."
Blah blah blah - absolutely painful to read.

"in the bridge..."
- This will not be a historic contract, but it may, might, could possibly be the link to a somewhat good contract well in the future.
