What did Bethune publicly say back in C97. He had plenty more ready to offer to the pilots. He was even publicly quoted saying he couldn't believe the pilots voted in the first offer. The company would never come to the table without a backup offer.Don't sell out,go back to the negotiating table and set the bar higher.

The company is using scare tactics to get this thing through.They need this to be over with as soon as possible and will come back to the table to make it work. You can't ask for any more leverage.
