We support our MEC and we support Flightline...I'm OK with just staying separate and so should you since you are working on plan B and C...Don't worry about it...
We both get to keep the systems we like this way...
Fine by me. Just stating facts and letting the poster know who is preventing unity, the ASA MEC and their ultimatum. Like I said, go ahead and keep it up, we will all find out what the final outcome of the company negotiating dual class RJ rates. My guess is that it would end up worse for the ASA side.

So you are telling me that you want a PBS system that is globalized and doesn't hold to seniority 100% where as flight line does hold to seniority? You are the same person who, if we do say, "fine, lets take smartpref" will complain and say "this PBS is horrible and we never should have given up line bidding" because a globalized system is horrible! All of us will hate PBS if it is globalized!
P.S. The bidding software and line vs PBS is only just a piece of the entire pie of why our unions are having problems getting along.
No, just saying that its the ASA MEC who has turned down every single idea to get this PBS issue resolved.
How is it that paper bid vs PBS is the biggest issue for the ASA/XJT MECs? There are far bigger issues to worry about.
Only for the ASA MEC. They have literally set a flight line PBS or no merger ultimatum. They have tuned down ways to move forward because they are being intransigent, like they've been from the beginning.
