You're tactics are like generic kindergarten stuff - "all we have is unity" - what does that mean now? I know you are a big believer that we will be released by the NMB (not sure why you believe that but whatever) but outside of that, what else do we have?
I’m not certain we will be released by the NMB, but uncertainty is precisely the leverage.
There’s uncertainty in cost. There’s uncertainty in revenue. They are (will be) looking at both. They have far less control of the latter.
The uncertainty changes over time.
A “certainty equivalent” is the amount one will accept now to eliminate the uncertainty of the future.
That’s what we’re both negotiating.
