Would it have taken more negotiating capital to have the senior pilot start later than the junior pilot in the same silo? I don't see how that affects the company negatively. Would it have taken a lot of negotiating capital to keep the FSM protection that they can't change your RAP to end early (and thus start you earlier the next day)? Like I said, reserve going senior pretty much benefits everyone. So it's not just 25%. I also don't think better reserve rules would've taken 75% of the negotiating capital. Lastly, I think the negotiaters did their best with the situation. If you basically get to an impasse then one strategy is to put out a TA and have the pilots prove that's it's not good enough with their vote. That didn't happen (though I wish it had). The negotiating team would've had more ammo when they went back to the table.
