Option 3: NMB says 'here is your proffer of Binding Arbitration'. BIG change for you! You could be looking at a picket line in 40 days!

If I were you I'd plan for the worst case COA.

Seriously, I don't know the plan either Slammer. Let's look at what's best for the combined pilot group and go from there. I've already told my rep that I think it's crucial to get the CAL MEC on board. He's convinced that they will all be in favor...just as our MEC is. This might not have been a joint push, but the result will be a joint gain.
Ditto on getting reps to come out of their corners. Agree with you on option 3.
