It's not logic, it's definition:
Negotiate: Try to reach an agreement or compromise by discussion with others
Compromise: a settlement of differences by mutual concessions; an agreement reached by adjustment of conflicting or opposing claims, principles, etc., by reciprocal modification of demands.
FAPA negotiated with RAH. IBT apparently refuses to (I think the line that they toe is "give us what we want or we'll strike".)

...and we still have jobs. Additionally, we turned a profit last quarter, which demonstrably wouldn't have happened with the old cost structure. My job is basically the same as it was 4 years ago, which is 99% better than what I expected back then.
Incidentally, at least I have the pay concessions as a reason for making more than USAir and United, but less than Delta and American (actually, that would be the same without concessions). What is your explanation for your FO's making $37 an hour? If I recall correctly, I think it was promise of future perks (quick upgrade).
