TC alluded to it in his narrative when he said this
A complete product will address all of the Sections of the CBA which we have opened, and although we are not so naive to think every pilot’s pet issue will be solved, we will have given our best effort to solve as many of those issues as possible. We will address accepted fares and deviation banks. We’ll work to get real-time trip trading. We’ll strive to take care of pilots who were under age 53 when the previous CBA was ratified. There will be a real fix for §4.A.2.b. There will be a real pay raise. Not only does this TA fail to accomplish those goals, I feel it will delay the achievement of those goals.
He recognizes that there were inequities in the previous contract. Whether you believe he stands for a more equitable contract is up to you. I happen to think some folks view important things, like our FDA LOA, as a "pet project".
Striving can mean asking for something then pushing it aside to ensure another improvement gets funded.
