BLUF: Don't give them ANYTHING.
Nothing we won't be able to waive through FRMS. When we give them an inch, they've already laid the groundwork to take the extra mile.
Remember the arm twisting they made to get us to change the language that eventually allowed them to do the IAD-MAD flying with Aer Lingus? Lesson learned - they will take anything they have and use it in the most beneficial way for them (even/especially if it's harmful to the pilot group).
