Believe me, everyone wants a contract yesterday but not if it means we (CAL) are dismissed and ignored on decisions that directly impact US. If we ( both CAL and UAL) MECs don't learn quickly how to work together we are on a fast track for separate contracts and furloughs...so rather than bash each other or stay on the destruction tour, why don't we focus on our own MECs to at least come to the table, put there swords and egos away. If they are not willing to meet within the coming weeks IMO, WE are doomed wrt a JCBA this summer.
