Does our Chairman really think that our "interim talks" are going to end in a worthy TA?
Does he think failing that, we will open Sec 6 negotiations on Feb 01, 2013, immediately petition the NMB and they will in turn, immediately release us? And, then what? 30 days later we'll have a contract?
This is precisely why I thought it was a mistake to take the 3% in lieu of pushing forward with active, section 6 negotiations. Another year's delay in real improvements; improvements that could very well net far greater than a one year 3% gross pay increase.
