I'll toss in my 2 cents.
I think the best ammo for our case is for the TA to pass (which I give it a 80% change) and then the arbitrator panel to make ANY reference to LOA 25 in the final award. Then the suit proceeds with very clear evidence that our longevity was manipulated for SLI and there are very clear damages to career expectations.
Let the MEC's choke on the mess they have made together, why save them at this point with a NO vote, it just brings on more stalemate.
BTW- I still don't get the logic why CAL is afraid of our furloughed longevity afforded in the JCBA giving us a bump in SLI yet they don't see the conflict in affording it to their own. If LOA 25 has "nothing" to do with SLI as both UAL MEC's contend, then somebody is outright lying, or else why even have it?
