It seems that the MEC is (against the advice of the NC, the administration, the attorneys, and the NMB) passing up a great deal to try for the perfect deal (which doesn't exist).
If we waste this fleeting opportunity, we'll have nobody to blame but ourselves.
This is the problem. We are hearing two distinctively different versions coming from the MEC:
From the Dirty Dozen - The company has barely moved of its inadequate last offer. If this is the case No brainer, keep at it and come back when we get a better offer.
From the Magnificent 7 - We are within reach of a very good deal but internal squabbles may prevent us from bringing it to fruition.
Also a No brainer - Bring us a TA and let the Pilots decide.
The problem is both of these stories can not be true. My bet is its probably somewhere in between.
