If you insist in connecting them, that's fine, but you need to realize that we are now behind in inflation by 15 days from where we would have been, and will require even more to break even with what was on the table. That task becomes more difficult as time goes by. Again, just math.
There's also nothing emotional about the mathematical value of the concessions. There's also nothing emotional about the compounding negativity of those concessions for what could be the rest of our careers. Donatelli's letter didn't address that even though it was the exact causation of the TA failing. That's SayAlt's point. That's the point of 65% of us.
Just like investing tsquare. You have to include your losses for the year...not just the gains.
