Read through Spirit's strike thread. They had a big wait too and were called in for a meeting, with another additional wait afterwards before they were finally released. The only real difference is that they were required to keep negotiating during the period before their joint meeting with the NMB, but the NMB just cancelled all future negotiations for G4 after the proffer request was filed.
As someone already said, unity is our major strength right now. If you want to poke holes in the G4 pilot group's strategy, maybe first consider asking management how we got to this point, because they are the ones who drove us here. The pilot group cannot be expected to just stand by and let management break every rule and law with no consequences.
