Fact is, the company hasn't met the 3 year PWA 1.P.4 look-back on March 30, 2014 and won't meet the PWA 1.P.4 lookback on March 30, 2015.
At that point the non-compliance is grievable, whereas right now the non-compliance isn't.

We aren't were our legally binding contract says we are supposed to be.
The company also isn't making an effort to meet the PWA contractual obligations it signed off on.

You bring up looking at the past. Specifically our flying level of 2004 and 2008 but that's about as relevant as our pay rates from the then current PWA...

The current PWA is the measuring stick.
Whether flying an non-ILS or measuring EASK it's the current legal requirement that matters.
We either meet the current requirement or we don't.

Which is it?

The sad thing is I'm pretty sure you understand more of the nuances than most, yet you keep bringing in non-relevant points that obfuscate and marginalize the issue at hand.

Perhaps you have decided it's just not a big deal, so you choose to misdirect others...

P.S. Based on your argument of "looking at the past" it probably wouldn't be a big deal to short your pay a couple of percent from the current PWA rates because, you know, it's still more than the rate of the last contract? Or is your rate less than in 2004 and you would rather have that rate? The current PWA is the measuring stick.
