Many, if not most, airlines utilize the services of Ford & Harrison when negotiating with their labor groups. And F&H has one hell of a reputation in management circles for their success in "dealing" with labor issues.

Pilots sitting across the table from F&H specialists is like the Taliban engaging in a firefight with Recon Marines - it ain't gonna be pretty for one side.

It costs money, big money, to bring in representation like this...

The seat is not MEL deferred. It is deactivated.

I don't get why pilot groups don't pony up the cash and hire real, qualified, trained, negotiators. Say $5M, and take it straight out of the new deal thats being negotiated. A professional negotiator could probably regain that and more.

Pilots are pilots, they fly planes. Leave the negotiating to people who know what they're doing.
