If you are going to dot every i and cross every t, while in negotiations, to send management a message, claiming safety, then why isn't every i being dotted, and ever t crossed, when not in negotiations. JMHO, but the way it comes across, if, until management gives us what we want, we are playing "safety first", and delaying flights, so our numbers decline, but as as soon as they give us a contract, we'll do whatever we have to, to get flights out on time. In the latter, did safety suddenly go out the window? Seems inconsistant to me.
