RA must keep his word that there is no better deal, no money on the table. He has to, or every group will unionize.

To me, this means any [more pay? sick leave improvements?] will be offset by FURTHER concessions so he can claim that he wasn't steamrolled by the rank and file.

We've got to keep a close watch on the details. MD11 have proven they are NOT on our side. They have gone completely rogue.

They will try to sneak new concessions in, and gloss over them while trumpeting a few more schekels and some minor eyewash tweaks in sick leave.
