But can we at least agree that no matter what the criticism of your beloved DALPA, you'll dutifully somehow work in Black Helicopters or Tin Foil Hats, etc. to describe such ungrateful miscreants?
If you actually read people's views instead of spouting DALPA approved insults, you'd see exactly such a scenario.
To get DALPA to behave like a labor union. Period.

I completely agree that the significant raises you seek are achievable. However, I believe they are achievable after 3-5 years of negotiations. Might as well take the rumored 25% raise over 3 years now since its going to take that long anyway.
Time value of money. If the contract is indeed 3 years, mathematically its very difficult to not leave money on the table turning down a contract so short.
