Unfortunately it has to be a willingness on behalf of the company to negotiate in "good faith" for the mediator to allow negotiations to continue. And as of yet, when it comes to the big items like scheduling and pay, Salisbury is still spouting insulting pay increases, current book or worse. This won't continue much longer and that is all I really could say. I personally think we are within 90 days of being released into self-help. And if we really are that close we will likely end up with a substandard "imposed" contract as we simply have not become organized enough to actually strike. We are in a bad position considering the goings on in the industry and a potential AMR merger looming, as a strike carries with it the very real possibility Tempe may simply wash their hands of PDT's flight ops. We are between a rock and a hard place which may explain the MEC's seeming lack of motion.
