Actually, that sounds like exactly what the ASA MEC is doing...acting in a manner to interfere with bargaining between the association and an employer...
This has nothing to do with the TPA, it has to do with your arbitration clause. And the fact that you followed McKPickle off a cliff.
Only the company has the ability to invoke section 26 of our CBA. Neither MEC can do anything about it. That clause has been there since 2004. It's boiler plate.

Yeah, keep dreaming............That is not what I said, at all. We both know who is responsible for blowing this whole thing up and why............It is impossible to move forward and agree on anything when your side is unwilling to move on anything................It's called negotiations, give a little, take a little. So far the only side that has budged has been ours.
Anyway, just because I am leaving doesn't mean I don't care what happens to this place. I have been an elected REP since one week after getting off probation five and a half years ago. I thought we would have a joint contract a long time ago and have MANY MANY friends that have a lot riding on ExpressJet succeeding. I hope both sides can figure out something and move forward sooner rather than later
No, the problem is an acquired pilot group arrogantly thinking they are going to call all the shots in a "merger". And the stalemate will continue until said pilot group
gets on board.
Just to correct your revisionist history, it was only your MEC who has given any ultimatums.
