I understand people are upset by the NIC and that R57's head might explode, but how exactly is final and binding not final? If the Union didn't want it, it shouldn't have agreed to it.
Why would my head explode? I have said on here before that, absent outside events, I thought the west pilots would eventually win. Just at a great cost and by the time they won the return would be diminished.
As ALPA members we had no choice to accept it's merger policy. Do you "accept" the taxes you pay?
The company will not do what you are suggesting. They are using the Nic to keep their costs low. Their DJ was a complete crock. They just saw how good the Addington suit was a keeping their costs down and jumped on the legal delay bandwagon. The top management of this company has hugely personally profited from our fight.
