There are pathways to let your concern be known within the union, none of which you can follow, because you're not a member.
You are entitled to your opinion. However you are wrong. The biggest discord is the result of low standards, defeatist arguments, acceptance of false choices, and a blissful and willful ignorance. You have an industry that is in the gutter largely at the fault of pilots in general by not having a spine to stand up to management. While I support the union, I'm also not constrained by it or any other pseudo-monopoly. If it doesn't perform, get rid of it, and replace it with something better. 3 yrs+ to get where we are is a pathetic failure by any standard, except maybe yours.

If I weren't a paying union member, I wouldn't care so much about getting results from it. Give your brain a chance.

You mean the traditional low-performance, defeatist, losing arguments of the BJ pilot group? I'd hardly call that sanity since it hasn't brought meaningful results, except that now you have to dumpster dive.

Isn't insanity when you do the same thing over and over and expect different results?

I hate to disappoint you but I won't be snuggling with you anytime soon. Clearly it has crossed your mind since you were motivated enough to write that. Perhaps instead you should focus on getting paid what you're worth and getting work rules commensurate a professional.

Can you send me a DM so I can put you on my avoid list? Although I have a big hunch on who you maybe with how you attribute everything to “war”.

A "tool"? hahaha Please tell me you are older than 14 years old. Perhaps you need to go hide in your safe space since you clearly can't handle written words. Act professional.

Easily handled in a contract: "Unless specifically stated and approved by B6 ALPA with an >=85% majority, no other document, excerpt, or guidance outside of this contract may be used to amend, augment, or to provide additional contractual obligations".

SOP simple. done. end.

christ all mighty.
Every detail counts. This is a contract, not a wish list. I bet your cell phone software end user license agreement is more complex.

Why do you still think you don't have to clean? Yes, there are a few loopholes such as being in the cockpit jumpseat, but if you're going to/from work in the back, you agreed to an online training that is essentially a contract. There is no reason why the contract can't include every little detail. If someone is telling you they can't include such a provision, they are lying. They are hiding behind your ignorance of the process.

So you are arguing the following:

1. DAL could be forced to clean while non reving in their current contract.

2. That if such a loophole existed, it COULD NOT be closed.

3. If it could be closed that it would take more than one negotiating cycle for it to go away.

Please tell me how little you value yourself again.
This is just a function of writing a decent contract that disallows augmentation by external reference. You could write language in there that anything beyond 14 CFR required certificate duty requires >= 85% ratification by the pilot group unless it is already specifically stated in the contract. There literally is no reason why this can't be done. This is done everyday in every other industry to prevent feature creep. Can you qualify why it couldn't be included in the contract?

Some feel the opposite, and both are valid positions. I always found it highly offensive that a regional airline pilot making pennies was forced to PAY for non-rev travel.
But the bigger problem is what they will have you do tomorrow. Sure, today they want you to cross seatbelts, but what is stopping them from asking you to clean the toilets tomorrow? Think about that from a contract or legal perspective. If you have an open-ended contract that doesn't specifically define your scope of labor (or statement of work), then what is stopping them from making you a wheelchair pusher while non-reving? The whole cleaning the airplane is a legal trojan horse, which is why it must be addressed in the contract. Nothing must be done unless it's specifically mentioned in the contract.

1. Laws most assuredly do not change overnight. There's a whole legislative process for that. Remember the song? Even laws that are invalidated as being unconstitutional do not change overnight. For example: Arkansas had segregated schools well into the 70's; 20 years after Brown v. Board of Education.

2. Corporations literally do not. They may change policy overnight, but it is not a law.

3. The political will of a pilot group has nothing to do with the RLA, maintaining economic and national security does.
