Think about how many statements both the company and the union have made which have turned out to be either in error or directly misleading. Then readdress what you just said.
Besides, the company wants this TA through quickly because it is a great deal for them. Why would they show their cards and say "you know, you guys could have done way better. Why don't you come back to the table?"
Oh, and the union has acknowledged the 300 pilot decrease numerous times, and has also stated that the TA will only result in around 200 additional pilot positions despite taking delivery of 88 airplanes.
Whoops.
