I don't see it as any different from management's approach. Use whatever is available to you in the contract to extract the most value. 3.B.4. being put off for now, accounting practices to minimize profit sharing, building longer trips to keep people at work, etc.

I don't see it as bragging but making people aware of the loopholes that are to the advantage of the pilots. The more often we change the contract the less likely we are able to take advantage of the known circumstances. The hidden gems seem to always benefit management, these few opportunities should be fully exploited.
