It’s almost as if APA should have taken the WO MECs more seriously when they wanted to engage in talks about seniority numbers…
Imagine these kind of raises spread across a pilot group of 18,000+. Not just the 4,000 driving 50-76 seat airplanes.

… raise.
There is little to no job security at WO. It’s a temporary band-aid. I would never base a long term decision based on this. I’m shipping out, my drastic pay cut is right around the corner. I’ll take it and smile. When a 900 can be flown for 1/2 price… at mainline, how would you think there is any long term security in being with a WO. Be happy that yes, it really leads you to question your union’s ability to work in your best interest ( ie. QOL/ pay rates at AA). From the outside looking it, AA is overdue for some significant contract adjustments. ( ie. WO to AA should be an improvement).

It's a good deal for their LCAs and lifers but doubt it really curbs attrition. LCCs etc still pay better.

They're granting those kinds of raises for the sole purpose of preserving both their hub n' spoke business model, and the FFD outsourcing that makes it lucrative. The whole point is to AVOID bringing it in house... that's not up to the union.
The company (not any union) could have brought it in house at the drop of a hat any time they wanted to. They don't.
