The union leadership needs to say these thing to maintain credibility and loyalty.

The last we heard officially from the union was this (which appears now to be an honest assessment):
Myth: By rejecting this TA, Section 3 B. 4. language remains in effect giving us 3 percent raises in the future.
Fact: Section 3 B. 4. triggers a review of pilot wages if the Company gives a raise to the other employees. Should they decide to give a raise to others this year, no pay increase for the pilots would occur. We have already had our comparison in April, which matched the AMR/UAL 757 rate and resulted in a .55 percent raise. If they give a bonus to employees instead of a pay raise next year-no review is triggered. If they do it again in 2017,again, there is no review. Nobody should hang their hat on a clause inserted to examine other people’s pay.
