Vote however you want, I'm just asking.
Nevets, as you probably know, ALPA national does the costing in contract negotiations. As critical of ALPA as I am, they actually do a pretty good job costing these things out as a whole package. That being said, IF the total package put together is a cost increase to the company, then is it still a "concessionary" agreement?
If one side of the company cost the company $50k/pilot per year and the other side cost the company $45k/pilot per year and the new contract would cost the company $49/pilot per year, then yes. It is concessionary. Especially since the $1k concession is taken by 2/3 (~3000) pilots.
