It's not that simple. I absolutely do not agree with batch size agreement. We effectively solved a company problem (batch size violations) by agreeing to a pinky promise. The problem, however, stemmed from the grievance. We filed a grievance because we were claiming that the 23M7 usage was violating past precedent. The company came back with this settlement offer and our options were effectively to withdraw the grievance, accept the settlement or take it to arbitration where we were certain to lose. The widespread usage of 23M7 doesn't just negatively impact a "vocal minority." It completely upends the seniority system in favor of a FCFS system which primarily benefits super junior pilots and super senior pilots.
