The timing of this is amazing, but for some reason I'm not surprised. I'm wondering if the CAL MEC is a bit afraid of the award coming down.
I'm sure the arbs will now have to reopen or face opposition and lawsuits from the LCAL side.
I applaud your MEC doing what ever it takes to slow this process down. I really do. All the better for you, more training slots and upgrades, etc. This is what your MEC and lawyers should be doing. It is not their job to protect LUAL pilots, that is our MEC's job.
Too bad that it screws us all in the long.
