Already factored in to the mix. My only concern is that the company uses them as a hostage for concessions, as they are now out of other cards to play.
When dealing with these thugs, it's always wise to assume worst case when it comes to their game plan. They are incredibly bone-headed in the day to day running of an airline but incredibly crafty in managing money, exerting political influence and playing labor.
