I actually personally don't think EVERY AIP is cast in stone. Most of my sources would disagree 100% with me on that, but maybe there is a little wiggle room?

Face it: if the company lets us renege on things we previously agreed, they have no credibility, and neither does the entire process.

I heard that there was one piece that was a legitimate misunderstanding between the NC and MEC, so the NC had to go back in and explain that the item was there mistake. You can do that sort of thing once or twice, with a minimal loss of credibility.

I suppose the 12 probably can get away with a tweak of one of their AIP's, or maybe two, without bargaining in bad faith. I don't know where the breaking point is. Evidently, JM told the pilots at the 44 meeting that we can't change the AIP's. I didn't hear him speak, so I can't comment on how finely he put that.

I just know the MEC owns their work, warts and all. I don't much like most of them, but I do want them to succeed. I do think they're a bit stuck in the politics at the moment. I hope that for everyone's sake there can be some change of some item, and they can declare victory, and we can do our part by overlooking any weird attempt to blame one another.

What POS PS AIP do you mean? Have they settled PS?
