I'm sure you would...and I'm sure airline management would find you worthy of better benefits & compensation than anybody else at your airline in the same seat and longevity.

I'd suggest if you're unhappy with the slow process of airline collective bargaining (which isn't hasn't exactly been a secret over the last couple decades) that you go back to any other job you had before you became an airline pilot. Or, leave the airlines and get a job in business aviation where you're worth whatever you can negotiate for yourself.

Good luck, regardless of which path you decide to pursue...
