I think the "we bought you" attitude from ASA combined with the larger XJT group protecting what they have is creating a total Sh*t show of a merger! I wouldn't bet 15 cents on a successful merger with-in the next 5 years. If ever.....
At least protecting what we have is an honorable endeavor.

Just to correct your revisionist history, it was only your MEC who has given any ultimatums.
Sir read Attachment "A" of the JCBA and ISL Protocol Agreement.
Specifically B.1. You see the part about "...may significantly change either the current ASA or XJT CBAs or that may significantly affect the terms of, OR negotiations or other process for determining the JCBA or SLI. The non-negotiating MEC may then determine that in its view such proposed (or when concluded ) actual agreement constitutes a joint agreement subject to ratification of BOTH MECs...."
The ASA MEC is doing its job under this agreement that YOUR MEC agreed to. I would expect no less if the shoe was on the other foot.
And if you had read my previous post, all that means is that your MEC is required to be notified and given a ratification vote. The dispute resolution process will answer if this is required. In any case, it's moot because there will be NO ratification vote. This is going to arbitration.
The point in that post was that this wasn't the XJT MEC's doing. Only the company can use the addition of new aircraft clause in our contract.

Here's something you probably don't know, Nevets. There is loophole that could let management could pick the system, and we would end up with that POS AOS that SKW uses. THAT is why the ASA MEC drew a line in the sand and walked away. It actually had little to do with SmartPref and everything to do with management. But your MEC turned it into a propaganda tool. Bet McK didn't tell you that part.
I like you ASA conspiracy theorist guys. First it was the mcpickle was getting a kickback. Now it's a loophole. What's next?
