I 100% agree/understand that the "30 Day Cooling/Clock" is the ONLY firm deadline that the Company would be forced to heed.
The question still stands, are the dates that were 'penciled-in' by the NMB (through June 29th) serving as the foreshadowing of an impending 30-Day Cooling Period (IE-"break-neck" 7 day a week neg.)?? Conversely, are the extension dates written in by Chairman Puchala serving as filler by which to allow Mgt to continue the same foot-dragging dance that they have displayed for months on end?
I realize that it's the million-dollar question, but I guess no way to know till the end of the week
