If ALPA were smart they'd make the MEC's do baseball style arbitration where each side puts forth their "best" offer to the other side and the arbitrator just picks either A or B without modifications.
That way each MEC would be responsible for setting reasonable expectations amongst it's membership. Right now, each MEC shoots for the moon with inevitable labor heartache when neither side can be even close to their position in the end.
