Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better....
It was your side that wanted to go with an untested new PBS system, over a currently used popular PBS system that has been tested. Incredibly stupid in good times and fatal in this tough negotiating environment.
The blame lies solely on your inexperienced revolving door MEC...
No, our MEC wanted our line bidding. Your MEC wanted flight line. The XJT MEC compromised. The ASA MEC took over a year to move off of their position. If the ASA MEC would have compromised a year ago, we would've ended up with the same deal we have now except it would have been a year ago.
But keep telling yourself otherwise if it makes your ego feel better.

They would probably still need to put it into contract language before we see it. That might take a while.
