So it's ok to only discuss 5 items, not sections, but items of a 25 section 500 page document that controls our lives and just say well no go but here's some cash?
Would you hire a contractor to fix five things in your house then have him not fix 2 things only do half of the bathroom and sweep your floors then say well we tried here's some cash?
MOP;
The difference, is we are not hiring the contractor. The company is hiring us. The company wanted to discuss 5 things, we got 3 wins, 1 tie, and 1 no contest (reserve). For that, we get extra money.
All of which, we are were not entitled to for another year, assuming a miracle happens and the Section 6 was finished on time.
Santa just said here's 13%, 1 year early. Oh, and before he leaves, we get 3 more presents. All of which, we not entitled to.
It is all free. No strings. The wide body guys had to "give", but they also got a lot more add pay, automatically. I would call that tie.
We didn't pay them, to discuss 5 things, they paid us.
