Cloud mate...great post and well said,...you say minor points,that maybe true,but for those of us who have been in negotiations with mgt before AND been threatened with punitive actions,...those minor points ultimately show the backbone,ethics,and principles....of those involved.
Some may scoff at those as illusions,but let me tell you this,....pilots who are behind you but dont feel they want to be in the negotiation process or know there are better qualified people to handle the tricky parts,will thank you for your service,s...not all want to be at the table,but anyone who care,s about their livelyhood will always take a keen interest and show support when required.
This Mgt is no different than any other,and we all know the game,and its all about stiking the best deal for whatever side you are on.....the bottom line,..both sides need to be able to compromise.
stoiduoy......where do you live,I,d like to come and see you
