It’s not about the demands of the union, if indeed there have even been any. It’s about the demands of the company, which stated that concessions would be required or the project would be abandoned. Remember this is after the pilots accepted a couple of pay freezes in recent years and agreed to a 30% productivity gain on the 787, when the last couple of years have seen record profits and executive remuneration. In light of that, I’m not sure why some people (yes you, Geoffrey Thomas) seem to believe that the pilots should just agree to whatever the company demands.
