No that's exactly my premise - we won't get legacy wages because of our size. I get what you're saying on profit margins but that's a tenuous variable. What if our profit margins drop 30% tomorrow? (Not unrealistic - let's say accident that scares people away). Do we now change our tactics because of market conditions. I think this is a good argument to have I just don't see profit margins as the main thesis of negotiation.
