I can't answer this, as I'm not on the NC or EXCO. But judging by the TA we received, I'm assuming the mediator and NMB were comparing us to our fellow ULCCs and LCCs.

Yes, I was disappointed when I saw the work rules. You used to be able to commute with this airline. It just seems like we are negotiating for all of the stuff that the company has taken away in the last five years. But I also know that our NC and EXCO wouldn't give us a TA unless they thought it was the best deal they could offer us to vote on.

In the mean time, I'm still looking for other jobs. This company will not give us an amazing contract until they absolutely have to, and from the looks of their offer, they havent reached that critical point.
