We're all entitled to our opinion. I will absolutely continue to bid short call and pick up PR. Your'e describing a utopian pilot group which doesn't and never will exist. Are delta pilots not picking up green slips? How about United? What gets us a new and industry leading contract is following the contract to a T. That's what I do.
Not to point fingers, but I'm always curious as to the situation one is in where they don't go for premium...I'm assuming you are not a local on a narrow body fleet, is that correct? My point being that those who hate on the pilots picking up premium usually have a reason why they are unable to and because of that, come off altruistic in why they don't pick it up.

We don't have leverage because the majority of our pilots are mission hackers and circumvent the contract or just plain ignorant to the contract.

I agree with those who believe our holiday/100% premium LOA language was garbage.
I’m in favor of an ALPA merger, if only under the logic that it couldn’t be any worse than APA.

Isom’s supposed “I’ll park widebodies if you don’t sign my contract proposal” threat doesn’t make any sense, because he would indeed be fired for doing so. AA needs every bit of revenue it can get to service all of its debt. Impossible to generate revenue on a parked widebody.
Parking widebodies as a result of a worldwide economic collapse, maybe, but I don’t see things getting that bad… and if they do, DAL and UAL are gonna be right behind AAL.

There were some designated 100% premium (200% total) in August. The company maintained a list on AApilots. Dunno if it’s still there.

Too many mission hackers out there willing to work at 50% premium so why should they offer more?

Agreed. The most vocal out there about not picking up premium happen to be those that aren't able to do it because they don't live in base.
