Agree with all of this. Specifically on concessions, the LI travel day was extended on the back end, which doesn't affect most of us but is definitely a concession. Why entertain any concessions at all? Definitely a fail by the NC along with the comm on the whole thing. Tighten up the language and try again....or don't. I am good either way. A lot of the changes look like busy work that could be captured in notes for future negotiating sessions.
Also not a big fan of their defensive tone on the whole thing. Almost sounds like they don't want people flying the line to question them. Probably not a great way to approach things by full time, highly paid employees on trip pull that we are funding
