Then why didn't we just put 300% raises and 12 weeks of vacation on the table, and make the company "negotiate" those "down?"

Ok gloopy. Everyone else is wrong. You're right. Go out and get things done. Clearly it's an extremely simple process, and you know how to get things done. Go gloopy. Save us!

So why not 120? 150? 199? All are unreasonable examples its only a matter of degree. But all are trash offers designed to see if we are dumb enough to kick things off by negotiating with ourselves. We can play that same game with them too by the way, so they hold no advantage.

So 82 is reasonable but 300 isn't? BTW, 82 is really a 100 seater (E190) with first class and EC sections). SO they really put 100 seaters "on the table."

Your sarcasm has convinced me. Because they opened with 100 seaters (82 installed) that means they were a done deal unless we gave up something in negotiations to keep them away. I hereby praise the NC for keeping those jets away and since that was the opener, more 90 seaters (76 installed) is a win.

They say they want 82 seaters, we say no, then counter with 70 seaters only (same seat difference) and stare at them like the bluffers they are until its time for lunch.
