Regardless, the grievance will work it's way through the system and we will all see if there is any merit. When this grievance is finally put to bed, I sure hope that some of you will let it go and be more concerned with the JCBA.
Nice parting shot.
I can tell you that the NC has a laser-like focus on the JCBA, despite your attempt to minimize our concern.
If the company does an end-run around the T&PA, then I would expect my MEC to grieve it.
If the company operates counter to status quo requirements, then I would expect my MEC to pursue whatever action is appropriate to hold the company accountable.
I would be surprised if the CAL pilots expected anything less if the shoe was on the other foot.
In the meantime, the NC will continue to focus exclusively on the JCBA without distraction.
