Maybe... but by giving up forced upgrades it hamstrings us on the next contract. So, they gave a bunch of "gives" this time in order to "get" forced upgrades playing the long game that the next contract they won't be forced into so many gives.
Who knows, with no forced upgrades maybe PHX and SEA or ??? would open up and drastically change the lives of hundreds of pilots.
