Yeah, shake your head until you have a headache. But nothing prevents from mid contract improvements. Something ALL other airlines regularly do. In any case, the MEC has stated that if they cannot come to an agreement to our current negotiations, they will open it up. So it’s never too early to talk about what needs to be improved, squeaky wheel and all. So I’ll always talk about what can or should be improved. Feel free to ignore if you want.

perfect is the enemy of good. Don’t settle but get what matters and can be won in this contract. Don’t add more loose language.
I never mentioned perfect. There is no such thing in any human endeavor. But if you feel that nothing else other than pay and retirement can or should be improved and therefore we should just settle for negotiating only those two items, then we simply disagree. Not a big deal. But rolling over on everything else will never lead to improvements we deserve.
