I don’t think it is constructive to say they “may have to concede”. I think it is more constructive to say a compromise must be reached. Some give and take will be required on all sides. Their concerns require consideration to avoid the chilling effect on communication. If pilots aren’t on board with the changes the intended benefits may not be realized. Pilots aren’t robots. You can’t dictate behavior to them. They’re human and intelligent, that makes the environment complex and delicate. The mutual trust from a blameless culture must be maintained. That means treating pilots with respect and listening to their concerns. If the concern is retaliation (reasonable concern IMO) then pilots need stronger protection to alleviate that. They are probably most likely to trust those protections if they come from the union rather than FAA or the company who can then “alter the deal.”
