What they think about is how much will it take to get the APA to vote for a contract with 50.1% support. That is what they want to pay. The rest can be spent on bonuses and profit sharing for mgmt.
It depends on your definition of hurt. What do you think is a fair amount for a pilot to make?
Are AMR pilots deserving to make at least as much as Delta / UCH pilots?
Mgmt doesn't want a strike, but they surely don't want to match Delta and offer profit sharing and such if they can get APA a contract for 20% less.
