Your point is that in 2004 while in bankruptcy that they sent a TA back? Howsabout we talk about the relative part of our choices on the TA?
My point is that when they got out of bankruptcy it took until 2010 to get their next contract,
3 years after the amenable date and 7 years after the bankruptcy and only with the help of the NMB who didn't mediate until
15 months after they requested the process. The key points are that this is the traditional path with the NMB regardless of sending back a TA in bankruptcy in an attempt to save the pensions.
Code:
September 16, 2008 - With negotiations on a new contract stalled after well over 18 months of bargaining, Hawaiian Airlines pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Intl., have filed to seek mediation with the National Mediation Board (NMB). At the same time, the pilot group announced it would reactivate its Strategic Preparedness Committee and seek support from ALPA’s National Strategic Preparedness and Strike Committee.
December 23, 2009 - After nearly three years in contract negotiations, pilots at Hawaiian Airlines are welcoming the opportunity to vote on a tentative agreement that, if ratified by members, will result in a new contract.
Negotiators for ALPA and Hawaiian Airlines hammered out the deal on December 18 after nearly two weeks of grueling, nonstop bargaining under the supervision of the National Mediation Board (NMB), including a marathon final session that lasted almost 36 hours.
