I know, "concessions" were off the table... but something has to give.

I suggest we offer to give up the "energy bars" provision of our contract (4-A-3), that requires the company provide candy bars... e.g. "energy bars"... in the crew rooms , for the pilots that can't figure out how to go a few hours between meals.

I believe this could be considered a major concession by the company, and could ultimately keep some pilots off of the street if we negotiate it carefully.
