I think they are using the data when constructing a negotiating position.
If I were an AF pilot working with their union and I had agreed to provide you with the details of our PWA on the condition that you not include it in a published piece on contract comparisons and then you turned around and included a line under the heading of AF pilot contract for each section in that publication with a general statement like you previously referenced, I'd be ****ed and think you had in fact not kept your word with me. You saying that you didn't publish details and only used general statements would go over like a fart in church. I certainly would be inclined to not cooperate next time. But that's just me.
We'll have to agree to disagree. Comparing them using general terms wouldn't have ****ed off anyone. And that is of course assuming that the AF/KLM pilots really did demand that we not use their data for comparative purposes. I don't know if that's actually true.
