I don't mind the frequency of the communication, but would prefer if it had more substance. Instead of "we don't have a deal, discussions are ongoing," it could be, "we don't have a deal, company is offering a $0.009/hr increase to year 10 FO pay and has asked us to concede commuter hotels and sign an LOA forcing pilots to wear the hat all the time (even in the shower), and to refer to members of management as "milord" when pax are present"

I can understand why it isn't necessarily strategic and tactical to release all this information all the time though.
