I can agree with that. I see that as the inability of the F/A leaders of both sides not willing to do the right thing for all F/A's.
We see that at our MEC level as well. With one side crowing that they forced a membership vote for this TA along legacy lines. Even posted the vote division on this and the pay web site as well.
There is a big push in the upcoming MEC Chairman election for a Pierce type MEC chairman. The company may be trying to delay contract just to gain favorable leadership at the MEC. Added a little low hanging fruit as a kicker.
