The company is under no legal obligation you give you a single thing, which is why NJASAP is spending all its efforts picketing irrelevant sporting events to pretend like they are making meaningful change. You and your fellow pilots gave up all the leverage you had by throwing Section 6 to the wind. It worked for a bit in some ways but to see the pilot group outraged at how little leverage you have is laughable. Management wants you to accept whatever they tell you they are willing to give because that is exactly what the pilot group has accepted for the last several years. The union can **** and moan all they want, but there is still zero leverage the pilot group or the union has right now as your contract isn't amendable. The market holds all the leverage, NJASAP and the pilot group hold zero leverage. Literally, nothing you have done has moved the needle and pressured management. The only thing pressuring management is attrition and the ability to hire, and evidence shows they are okay with both of those things for the time being.

If you think management keeps begging you back to the table like you hold all the face cards, you are lying to yourself and everyone else within earshot of your voice.
