A number of cycles back, both groups were in Section 6 at roughly the same time. Some form of this idea was floated, and while the AS ALPA leadership understood the long-term benefit, they were unequivocal in their belief that it would be impossible to sell the idea of spending negotiating capital on something beneficial to Horizon pilots in the short term to their membership. I don't recall what they decided to spend it on instead, only that Kasher took whatever it was and more away shortly thereafter. There's obviously no guarantee that the suits would have been willing to play ball at any price, but the fact that it never got past the "kicking a few ideas around" stage is emblematic of how pilots' focus on near horizons continues to make management's job much easier than it should be.
