Disclaimer up front: I envy the WB fleet of our bros and sis's at UAL and AAL.

But mind if I ask a devil's advocate question on scope for all of us? Why should we force our management team to fly more WB aircraft if that's not profitable on a given route based on their access to information that you and I do not have? If you and I have more long-term pay stability (hopefully) than our brethren at UAL and AAL because we are managed differently, is that not a good thing?

Things I think I understand:

1. The more WB, the better the opportunities for progression (whether you want to stay NB and get seniority, or jump to WB for other reasons)

2. WB flying is a source of pride

3. The company doesn't really care about us, they just want us to work harder and be away from our families more

How about this: what if our contract required the company to boost our profit sharing % (by a significant number)if they were out of compliance? Is that a good idea, or even possible?
