A concession is giving up what we already have, not failing to get improvements that we would like.

The company wants a quick deal only if they get scope relief. Being that there is very little chance that they will get it, we will most likely see the usual drawn out negotiations. Without scope relief there is no reason for the company to increase pilot labor cost. Personally I’d rather sign an improved contract with scope intact down the road than give away something so important. Time will tell.
