The latest on negotiations: management is more recalcitrant than ever. This has turned into a miserable workplace. Walk the other way when you see them at your job fair. This is not where you want to be. You can not make a career here.

Fortunately for you and your colleagues, PLENTY of airlines are hiring.

Could you explain why management is so recalcitrant and why life is so bad compared to the past?

Looks like adding new pilots.... Due to attrition or airframe growth? Are any pilots leaving? I assume the more junior FOs are looking around with all of the airline hiring. Article below:

They still have not recalled any furloughed pilots, so press releases like that are pretty misleading.

I'll give you one example: last day rules used to limit duty to 14 hours except for airline travel, which was limited to 16 hours. They had to get you home on your last day. There was no forced overtime. Now they just tell you you won't get home. Or they assign you a trip (live or repo) which gets you home, but is over 14 hours duty. This is common today.
Recalcitrant management: Bob S screaming FU,FU,FU! at the pilots in the last negotiating session. There really isn't much more to say.
So, as Puddy suggested, if you are young look for an airline. If you are too old for the airlines, look for a corporate position. But don't come here if you want to make a career.
