No, the surveys showed that the pilot group wanted focused negotiations and did not want to open many sections. One year ago, the surveys showed the same thing.

Sorry, retirement isn’t the only thing that’s important anymore. Lots of new blood with diverse backgrounds have joined our ranks in the last 2-3 years and they won’t accept some mediocre TA that’s full of concessions for the sake of “fixing” retirement.
Oh look, it is one of those pilots who was saying how great it is here and how much money they made. Now, when they are facing the prospect of longer upgrades and possible displacement, they want to "fix" the contract that was so good before for the "good" of everyone else when in fact, they are only looking out for themselves.
