My guess is they've committed to either more 78's or the Sunrise frames and they know any of this leverage will be lost. So let's create a sense of urgency to get what we want. Those pesky pilots will fall for it
YES
That might just be closer the pin than imagined.
If sources are correct, there might be a little announcement about something....

Would of course make a mockery of "good faith bargaining" if despite Little Napoleon's and Tino La Spiv arguments about "business cases" an aircraft was already ordered.....tsk tsk

While there’s been some very good argument above on fatigue, rostering etc and ULH flying, I can’t help but think this has ruse and deception written all over it. These folk are masters at creating a crises and pilots are equally adept at falling for it. Don’t let them control the momentum and don’t agree to anything on a promise.
What we agree on will be set in concrete, what they promise can change at any time.
