Quote: You guys who think you know whats going on in negotiations need to actually talk to those actually at the table. The XJT MEC never said no pbs or nothing, that was the guys on these internet forums. We have said. Flightline will not work for our group the same way you have said line bidding wouldnt work for yours. We have offered a compromise but arent married to it. We have invited your group to offer a compromise, they have refused. Management is very frustrated with the ASA MEC and their unwillingness to compromise and has finally realized ALPA is not all about screwing managment and there can be and is a group of guys over here that is willing to work with them while still protecting our pilots and what they hold important to them. This is why we have moved into these section 26 negotiations with only us and the company. They have identified both by what they have seen and what ALPA national reported to them after their visit that there is one pilot group that is willing to work with them and move forward, and they have chosen to move forward with that group. No flame, no hate, these are simply the facts as things stand right now.
Wow....talk about revisionist history....Let's see if I have this right....

It is the XJT MEC that wants to work with management and be reasonable, and it is the ASA MEC that wants more and is being unreasonable.....Is that correct?

What exactly is the ASA MEC asking for that is more than what the XJT MEC is asking for?

My only beaf with the ASA MEC at this point is not being more aggresive in it's public statements regarding what has really been going on....They need to set the record straight.....
