The NMB is fully aware of the changing conditions (like the tax break). It’s not overreaching if the company is gifted a tax break (meant to trickle down btw) and we in turn stick to our original reasonable approach and also expect something of a reasonable LTD.

You can bet that had conditions turned unfavorable (financially) for the company during this delay of their making that they would in turn change their original stance and ask for more concessions.
