Anyone that focuses on their own fears will sell cheap in negotiations.
Anyone that accepts the ploy that negotiations are over (when there has been no sale) will sell cheap. (Most pilots don't even realize we are selling and Parker is buying. We are selling industry standard productivity. He has to buy to be competitive.
Parker needs the concessions he wants to buy. He can't get those concessions in arbitration. We must agree to sell/give them to him. He will buy them now or later.
Oh nevermind... "We" the APA will fold like a cheap suit. Pilots don't know **** about negotiations, don't have the interest in learning, and never will learn from the past. We always fall for the same tricks on the first offer.
Always. Glass owns the pilots.
