And you are right.... going from 25% to zero is not a concession, it is an abandonment.
But you got a raise. Granted it wasn't pensionable, but you're getting a 4% raise in 2020. 10% raise in 22. and a raise starting today with pensionable retro. If you're on one of the banded up fleets, you're getting a significant raise. That's certainly isn't "nothing." You can argue that it's not enough but not enough is not a concession.

And we didn't go from 25% to zero. That's a disingenuous argument. We went from 16% to 18% which, last time I checked, was an improvement not a concession. If we measured contracts based on what we opened with vs what we got, literally every single one would be 100% concessionary.
