Oval,
Your response shows a fair bit of naïveté. Anything that degrades any CX pilots' contract hurts the group as a whole. It puts downward pressure on all of us, much like our icadets do now and B scale did back in the 90s. Also, anything that makes us disparate is bad for the unity of our pilot group, AOA Canada is a prime example of this as are bases in general. The more we have in common contractually, the better off we are as a group. It gives the company less opportunity to divide and conquer and makes our interests more similar, allowing a more concentrated and focused effort by the AOA.
Surely these concepts are not lost on someone as smart as you. I learned them as a child from my father, but so many in CX just cannot see the big picture. Perhaps they are too busy trying to get the mouth music right.
