Yes, that was exactly my point. I want to emphasize again that we must face the reality of the union's weak bargaining position, regardless of what we might prefer the situation to be.

I disagree with the claim that reaching a settlement in two months requires accepting all company demands - that's not logically supported. However, we should acknowledge that a significant compensation gap between us and the majors like AA/UA/DL will persist. Those who can't accept this reality are the ones being delusional.

As I previously mentioned, an impasse declaration is unlikely since our negotiating committee isn't demonstrating good faith bargaining. It's unreasonable to expect strike authorization when we haven't even presented our compensation requirements to the company.

Could you explain the basis for your disagreement? What evidence or reasoning supports your position?

You're making assertions here and in your earlier message, but you haven't provided any supporting reasoning to back them up.

At this stage, your responses seem more focused on trolling rather than contributing to a constructive dialogue. Sorry to say.
