Why not have joint MEC meetings after or before the regular individual MEC meetings? JP won't go for it, but it would show unity. May even be a good idea for the UAL MEC to notify all members of the CAL MEC of it's intent to act instead of just JP. JP won't be able to deny the communication if all the CAL MEC knows.
OU...You are aware that the agreement for a mid june TA completion a day before JH unilateral decison ( with all partners, to include our lead NMB rep and his boss) potentially violated good faith. In fact my concern now is if the NMB states no to the request, which is highly likely, then JH just gave the company an out to delay negotiations further and the mid JUne agreement is off the table. They can ask for it to be removed BTW...hiring lobbyist? The company has lobbyist also, so the impact on the NMB is fools gold. Our leverage was the timeline that all agreed upon, with the NMB leadership in the room..and if the company delayed or backed out, give us greater leverage and the NMB for release...Hope is not a strategy, and it appears that's exactly what JH is resting upon...Hoping the NMB will say yes...
