What the NMB presentation tells us is that we should expect that a traditional Section 6 negotiation using traditional strategies and techniques will likely take several years. While the process might be accelerated to some degree by limiting the number of open items and operating within the NMB- defined “zone of reasonableness,” it is apparent from this presentation and the recent experience of other pilot groups locked in lengthy mediation that this type of timeline is indeed realistic when using traditional approaches.
The PowerPoint from the NMB never said anything of the sort. I studied every slide of it after DALPA posted it. After you were called out about it by numerous posters here, you back pedaled and said the NMB stated it in closed session. My reps said it didn't happen in closed session either. You then called my reps liars. Whatever.
