Management did not counter our scope proposal as well, which they have had over a month now to respond to and came back with nothing. Allegiant negotiators have come month after month dragging their feet and refusing to counter our proposals. Allegiant manufactured “Pay Band” rates, that do not surpass jetblue 190 rates is not negotiating in the realm of our peers.
The mediator has seen all of the cards on the table and is going to stop wasting everyone's time. Since all subsequent sessions are now cancelled and none scheduled, means there will be a decision made.
I applaud the fact the negotiators aren't responding to Allegiant's "Pay band". In what category of airline is a pay band system in place today? Answer: None. Doesn't get anymore ridiculous than that.
