We get a TA that avoids ALL the concessions and adds (according to sailingfun's numbers, which I believe to be roughly correct) 19.5% over 3 years, without any changes to PS. We can then offer them the same 6% PS trade and get 6% on top of that, for a far greater TVM raise than POS15 had including the PS trade, all without any concessions.
If they say that, we call their bluff.
Love your plan.
Just my opinion, whether they do it on purpose or not the concessions are vastly undervalued.
Just one of many points, hiring going forward with TA, 50/month.
Hiring now that we rejected TA, 110-120/month.
This is the reality of the Shadow MEC doing the jobs math.
