IMHO, the only way to make this right is a vast leadership change in order fix the obvious disconnect which has occurred. Sometimes, negotiators can get too close to the table, if you know what I mean, but I just haven’t seen anything from the LEC Reps or NC that leads me to believe and willful harm was intended. In any case, intent is currently irrelevant.
I understand the frustration, but just deem it more effective to replace and repair without negotiating in public. I also don’t feel the need for revenge; reprimand yes.
Also, most Pilots are middle of the road and reasonable folks. I’m not for this TA, but optics matter. The more b@tsh!T crazy we look, the better the sales job appears.

there probably was a lot of escalation of commitment and/or Stockholm syndrome at the NC/MEC level.
It seems that they tried to be data driven but got all myopic in the approach. For example they claimed that they looked at PDRs to guide the discussion. I bet that most PDRs are about the annoying operational drama and hardly about the big picture QoL issues.
of course polling could have fixed that but I guess they just knew what we wanted - not.
