They called this meeting. This could be it guys! This could be the meeting that pushes them over that edge...that makes them realize that a release is necessary. If not, and this just some stupid attempt to restart pointless negotiations...then we hit the pavement. Why risk angering even a single NMB member and possibly delaying a release.
I understand where you're coming from. However, if we don't get back the working agreement we had in place, then we will be waisting time negotiating agreements we already had in place. They are proving that they are not going to willingly give us what we already had. The position we are in now only hurts are negotiating team. We need to get back the agreements we had so that our negotiators have somewhere to start. This is why I support a possible strike.
