And so it starts. This is exactly why you Internet warriors shouldn't be surprised when the NC comes back with substantially less than you "won't settle for" and 80% of your pilot group votes for it.
People have an annoying habit of talking big then rolling over and playing dead rather than actually striking. I'd even bet some of the APC Fire breathers will vote for less rather than walk.
Funny thing though. When it's all said and done you won't be able to find anyone who admits to voting for it. Pilots, as a group, are notoriously non-confrontational.
