How many people told you that you would never get a 50% raise (or whatever you guys asked for)? IMO, you have no leverage either, and your management is way smarter than your union leaders. But, I still wish you luck and I think you can eventually do it.
One caveat, we all need support for the other pilot groups. Naysayers don't help with progress, they just make noise. "Nay, Nay." See? That doesn't help.
