So, you'd rather spend the next 5 years taking inflation-adjusted losses under current work rules, rather than locking in marginally-improved work rules and decent payraises for FOs now?

Hey if you want to spend the next 5 years in foot-dragging negotiations for industry-average pay, under current book work rules, go for it if that's what works best for you! I'd prefer to lock in a small payraise/elimination of 50-seat basepay, and better work rules now, rather than spend the next 5-years in negotiations under current work rules.
