^^^^ This...
It may not even be an intentional strategy by our NC/ALPA, likely not. But the reasonable ask may be the catalyst for release. Once that happens it doesn’t matter what the ask was, we have complete control over whether the clock runs out and after that, whether we come back to work.
Rusty is correct, the worst case is that we are offered at or near ask. To quote the great Eddie Vedder, “Release Me!!!”
