No news, no hope. Teamsters is useless in this battle.
As long as you guys keep putting up decent to good on time performance nothing will change.
You have to demonstrate why you are important to keep happy. Do what ASA did a little over 7 years ago and what AA did this past fall.
Quite honestly I don't think your pilot group has the courage needed to take the necessary action to force Bedford's hand.
You can complain all you want about the teamsters being useless but a union's strength is derived entirely from it's membership. Stop whining and do something that demonstrates your value.
Why should Bedford do anything other than drag his feet? He has no incentive to do otherwise. He doesn't care how much you whine. As long as classes keep getting filled and the money keeps flowing he'll do nothing.
