If 4 days off and vacation touching are protected with PBS, according to the Negotiating Committee, I am willing to keep an open mind and see what a potential TA has to offer.

The loss of transition conflict under PBS is a work rule concession, and would require a substantial raise by itself as compensation.

I am not optimistic about the NK board and executives negotiating in good faith or offering a fair economic package by April. That would require a major change of heart, and they don't have one to begin with.
