This is what bargaining is like you ask for more than what you will take so when you come down its still somewhat okay. I am sure when the NWA dream idea is put out it will seem way unfair. Then they will meet half way.
This is not a bargaining position. In an arbitration proceeding, where you get one shot to present a position based on ALPA merger policy, you balance the equity value of each position at each airline and present the most compelling position you can based on the goals set forth in ALPA merger policy. You don't squander it on a dream idea.
The arbitrators are not there to split the difference between each position.
