He is not correct, he is oversimplifying as usual.
1-East ALPA walked away from JCBA. USAPA was negotiating.
2-There were two 3% grievances. In the first one the arbitrator used language that supported the second to rule in the company's favor, then denied the second! I thought the first one was BS, there was no intention to snap back the rates. I thought the second one had a shot. No matter what you think of the outcome or the handling of the process, every pilot should be concerned about the way the company misuses the RLA and the grievance process. Those have nothing to do with the Nicolau award and we should stick together on it.
3-The NMB parked us because of the legal quagmire we are in. The one you guys started with an unripe lawsuit and by trying to drag the company in on it in order to give the hope of big bucks damages. How's that worked out for you?
