I was told a mediator(s) will make the final call as too how many meetings will take place per month. With the announcement of Shuttle getting the 50 175s, is it possible new contract will be out for vote prior to the first plane coming on property?
According to the union the company believes a mediated session is worth 3 regular sessions. That's why they cut back....but we will see if that really is the case. If they stay on their current course those estimates may be accurate but compensation, scheduling, and reserve are yet to be touched. Those are what will really take time to hash out.
