Nothing is conceded until we vote. If dual qual was an open item it just became harder to use it as leverage.
But if both parties had already agreed to dual qual in the joint negotiation process, then how do they argue against it in the negotiation, mediation, ARBITRATION for these larger aircraft? And even if they didn't agree to that, it's arbitration we are talking about where the company would make the case about industry average.
