But what are we going to have agreed on in 5 weeks? It really doesn't seem much time to negotiate, vote, put into action.
I'm not coming out of CC for a promise like we had for 25 year housing!

hkfooey hits the nail on its head. These 350s arrive very soon and they don't fly themselves. I'm sure management have a plan that'll piss off the pilot group, but it won't help the bottom line, and it won't help fly those planes either. An RP agreement that's good enough and concrete enough to make us think that our future really would be better with CX is the only thing that will really work. Many airlines lose pilots in their first 5-6 years of service but when senior F/Os are leaving for greener grass and Captains are leaving for contract jobs then you really know you've pushed the pilot group too far.
Get back in the negotiating room, give back what you stole then start negotiating some RPs that that will stand the test of time. It's not difficult, management just need to recognise that negotiating means some give & take from both sides, not simply give from one party and take from the other.
