Walk away now. This "negotiation" is beginning the same way as all the previous dealings with the company: lies and deceit. Once they announce that they acknowledge the truth of the situation then we can sit down. Without at least that, there is no point in talking with them. If they insist that there is no money, and the training ban is not an issue, then politely wish them well and walk away. Just like hundreds of pilots are now in the process of doing from this sad and miserable company. As a previous contributor mentioned, they are simply looking to get 50% + 1. That road leads to further career destruction in the long term. Major pilot unions around the world insist that ALL pilots benefit from EVERY negotiation. All CX wants to do is divide and conquer. DO NOT play a part in that process GC/NC.
