I don't think you honestly believe that. When did INC agree to those QOL issues? It just so happened to be the exact time pay negotiations were coming up. The only reason they agreed to spend more money on the pilot group leading into the negotiations is to win the good faith of the pilots. It's the same reason they said "we were done negotiation for the time being" after the last vote was a No; when it was blatantly obvious they weren't. They need us a lot more than we need them. It's all a game of negotiation.
If this gets approved, they have 0 incentive to give anything more. And rightfully so, why would they? As long as new FO's are coming in the door, what incentive would they have to spend more money on us?
I do think the TA is a pretty good one, although I also want to see BOB. Better rates on User and Vacation time would also be good.
