As we have stated before and will continue to state, now is not the time for us to act out our frustrations or take actions to impact the operation. We do not want any pilot to jeopardize himself, the Association or the two MECs' Strategic Plan. We must maintain the Status Quo until we are released by the NMB and the 30-day cooling off period has expired."
Unfortunately "Status Quo" hasn't been "Flying the contract, etc..."
The elephant in the room is the company has us in checkmate because of 4 pilots who were warned repeatedly to cease all industrial realations activities yet they continued their activities which resulted in the Injunction which constrains us in the way in which we have traditionally "managed" an intransigent management. I for one am fed up with this BS waiting for the moment when the almighty Jeff might decide to throw us a bone. I say we go back to NMB and complain that this injunction violates the spirit of the RLA because it unduly constrains our ability to maintain a status quo. Time to start thinking and acting out of the box
