a full gut of the contract wouldn’t save spirit, not even returning to F9 level pay rates would.

If it comes to it (and I hope it doesn’t), strongly recommend holding firm on pay rates. They can get savings elsewhere. It takes multiple contract cycles to get one nostril back above water. Also, be smart about snapbacks, and use black and white language, with tiers. Lots of folks here have experience with this, and opinions will vary.
Good work rules are harder to get in negotiations than good pay rates.
