Keep in mind, though, that it's always the lowest paid group that always has the most bargaining leverage, not the other way around. If the cheapest guy in town refuses to do the work for crap wages anymore, his boss has no other alternatives.3. The contract was so horrible in the first place that it was never reasonable to expect an industry-leading contract to come out of these negotiations. You guys had an industry-average agreement and were trying to make improvements from that. The Pinnacle guys were starting from 10 steps back, and there was just no way they could catch up in a single agreement. They had to fix something as basic as block-or-better, for heaven's sake!
We all don't know the details of your TA, but the rest of the industry is expecting absolutely nothing less than at least industry average from you guys, if not a little above average. Anything less and you're selling out, and no better than Mesa.
