It all comes down to what you can get a the table. Management, AA in particular, is famous for saying there are only X dollars, it's up to the union to split it up. BS.
If all you think is we have to give to get, that's all you will get.
This is why our negotiating committee signs confidentiality agreements, they have access to our companies cost and financial projections. We work in an extremely competitive high capital business, there are limits. And restrictions on scope, like it or not is a negative on future profitability and revenue growth.
