That would be an opinion in bold. The reps and negotiators I've spoken with do not share your sentiment.
Like many of my peers, I'm confident my WANT list is way beyond my reasonable expectation list... Logic dictates that you don't want to undershoot the available leverage, that is the measure of acceptability in my opinion. By a 19-5 margin (21-5 if you wanted to count the MEM reps who had lost their LEC less than a month before the TA), it was determined by the MEC that the leverage had been used to the limit, and that it was up to the pilots to then take the information and decide whether it was acceptable.
I think that more restoration is likely and will happen more quickly when the Company is consistently profitable and we don't have so many of our peers dragging the wages down.
