That's on them. The NC shouldn't feel the need to make that ask in light of other gains that could be made that have more value across the pilot group. If the company wants to offer it (and apparently they already have) let them do it of their own accord..
Which all sounds great and dandy on a pilot b1tch board until that pilot you "deal with in the parking lot" turns around and beats your scrawny little ass and the company drops an injunction on you in Federal Court.

Look, you and I both want the same things, and I think you and I both agree that we're (eventually) going to get them. That said, it's management's job to run a business and if they decide to run it in a way that doesn't align with our desires then you're going to have to be ok with that and move on. Sucks, but that's the way it is.
But in that process there's a right and a wrong way to do things, and you're going to have to figure that out too. We have a lot of things working in our favor, including market conditions, pilot supply, and even some good union leadership. Let those things do their job.
I don't think so. I've expresses an interest to join in the past, but I would have to be in charge. It wasn't well received. I would want to run things my way.
My focus would be on applying pressure, publicly.
Regional airlines shouldn't even exist, I would like a hand in their demise.
