Thousands of your fellow pilots disagree with that line of thinking and apparently have a greater appreciation and respect for the value of what we do.
So you don't believe in the sunk cost fallacy? Maybe you think it doesn't apply in our situation? Instead of speculating on my way of thinking, which I think I've laid out quite clearly, address the argument. Why do you think your losses have merit as a negotiating strategy? How does that give us leverage?
What if the best we can get is better than "restoration"?
