So they are even more incompetent that I thought. According to RAH conference call for 2012 and 2012 Q4 earnings results, the Local 357 NC walked away from the mediation session stating they will not accept managements LB&F offer. Management later received a call from IBT National informing them that they will put the LB&F offer up for a vote (shouldn't that be a Locals job?). If the NC knew what the heck they were doing, they would know the rule that forces them to put the offer up for a vote. Instead, National had to step in and do their job for them. Embarrassing, to say the least. Either the NC didn't know their own "rules" (gross incompetence) or they did and chose not to follow them (gross negligence).

Face it, the NC are a laughing stock and the RAH pilots as well, given they voted them in. Thanks for the great attemp at spin, though. Hahaha!!
