We don’t need to make any other excuses.

Totally accurate. When we took a bunch of surveys of what we wanted in this contract, I don’t remember hearing much about training pay.
The ugly truth is for the last 10+ years the MEC(s) we have had, none have felt negotiating money should be used on pilots not on property. This is why the last contract had first year pay at $38.50 for the entire length of the contract, no date of signing increases.
