Just so everyone knows that the above post was TIC and meant to be facetious.
Everyone knows that the NMB has the power and ability to release you to a cooling off period which generates that maximum leverage against the recalitrant managment we now face. If ALPA keeps them "****ed off and angry" ALPA never gets released. If the idiot management team keeps them "****ed off and angry" then they are more likely to give the pilots a release to self help.
Additonally, the NMB has nothing to do with SLI and the mediator/arbitrator. They are two wholly seperate issues with nothing having to do with the other except starting the SLI timeline.
