What hope you referring to? The pilot group asked for 3 large groups for this contract. We met that goal. Having a snap up was never discussed
One, speak for yourself - It's funny to think back on when "5th best" was a rallying cry for this group now that we'll soon be a distant 7th or 8th (AFTER a round of negotiations!), but anyway, 6 years ago when that was a thing it was clear that preventing ourselves from being relegated to last place, or close to it, was important. It was a priority for me and my rep knew that.
And two - The ENTIRE contract was open for negotiations. If pilots weren't asking the NC/reps for enough, including a snap up provision,
isn't that the problem?
