But how would the ASA MEC get to vote on ratification on something that not even the XJT MEC got to vote on?

For starters, this was a MUCH MUCH better run operation before Skywest bought us. And if it wasn't Skywest buying us, it would have been someone else, with just as bad as an operation too probably.

I'd say that permantly created the rift you speak of, all in clear violation of the TPA. Our TPA grievance is 100% legit, and your side knows it. This is why they don't even have the courage to show their faces. They followed McPickle off the cliff, and now it's too late. Enjoy flying those big airplanes for $12 an hour less than me.
Actually, if you read it again, it specifically says, "terms and conditions" and not "pay rates." And like in ANY arbitration, both parties agree ahead of time on protocol (scope and process).
And speaking of rumors, the one I heard is that the MECs have come to a tentative agreement on a dispute resolution on choosing the pbs vendor.
PS It may be $12/hr less but in total compensation, its probably pretty close. There was a discussion about this between post 101-116 on this flightinfo thread: LXJET 70+ seat rates out
