The first thing I would do if I was negotiating for our pilots is to NOT sign a non-disclosure agreement with respect to proprietary company information. I'm not interested on hearing the company's plans and why they can't afford blah blah blah. I'm only interested in the company's survival and maximizing our pay and benefits. I have not been in the room but I believe the Stockholm syndrome is a serious problem for our negotiators.
Negotiations will start soon enough. Let's hope Delta and SW have settled by then.
