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.
I think you give the NMB too much credit. They can’t even recognize the company bargaining in bad faith let alone interpret economic conditions. I get the feeling they look at the list of imperatives they were given over a year ago and if it’s not on that list they disregard it. I’ve been wrong before but my faith in the NMB has reached record lows.
