Southern,
Have you bothered to call anyone on the MEC or negotiating committee? Any and all communications the union puts out the company almost immediately sees. They, union officials, are all willing to talk to you but YOU need to put in some effort to reach out to them.
The best impetuous for the company to step up negotiations is if 1) guys leave for other companies 2) people stop showing up for classes and interviews. 3) line pilots stop helping out the company
Negations is a long, drawn out process that is inherently designed by the law to favor the company. That's how it is. It sucks but we can't strike tomorrow or all call out sick. There would be severe consequences if we did. Ask the APA.
Allegiant has raised the bar on pay and the company knows it. They want to hire 270 pilots next year and the competition to get those numbers just got A LOT TOUGHER. Let alone trying to hold onto their current pilots.
