Completely agree.
Let’s stop with the paternalistic, “We know what’s best for you so we’re not going to tell you what’s really going on.” We don’t need windy Negotiator Notepads, Chairmen Letters, or Flight Operations Memos. Show us the openers, counter offers and costing data.
DALPA: “Make no mistake, the size of ALPA's ask is significant.“ Put your complete position out in public and let us see. Is your ask so “significant” that even a unicorn flying over a rainbow couldn’t get there? Last time we at least knew our position. This time we don’t know - anything really.
The company also needs to clearly show us their table position. Show us how valuable, or not, you think we are.
To both sides:
Show us real numbers.
We have a need to know.
