Any money you can get now is better than later, just pure economics 101. Not saying that it could be better, it sure could, but I'll take what I can get.
That is a terrible attitude to have, you might need to live with this contract for 10 years. Even if it takes a few extra months or even a year to get right you should get it right. There are other regionals that pay more than your airline, you should be striving to meet the top pay scales or better, not settling for something that is industry average. Aim high and try and set the bar high, don't settle for something medicore just to get money a few months earlier.
You've been fighting for years for this new contract, what's a few extra months to get it right?
