Those of us that actually work the line at G4 appreciate all the time and hard work our EXCO and SPC put in. Naysayers and flame baiters can go pound sand.
They're never going to let you strike, you are not ever going to be released. Republic/Teamsters tried for 8 years. Then only recently signed a contract last year because pilots refused to work there and they couldn't staff their airplane, forced them to give flying back to their mainline partners.
Your next meeting with the company and the mediator is when February? As far as the mediator is concerned, with a new company negotiator, you'll be starting over at zero, like the whole process is brand new. You're going to have to jump through all the hoops again you've been jumping through the last year.
