Also this kind of post is exactly the type management brings in to negotiations when they either want to cut what they view as above industry standard work rules, when at full book they are not, or they want to justify lower compensation. They want both obviously.

We can have industry standard or above work rules as well as compensation. Let’s stop thinking it’s a trade. It’s a defeatist attitude.

They’ve already sent emails about the operation and our cost advantage being our competitive edge and controlling that edge. It may be true but we are only a very very small part of that. They are already shaping the narrative for the next round.
