I'm patient, this is not my first negotiations process in the 121 world. This will undoubtedly be a long bargaining session, but I keep getting the feeling we are just "winging" it. The Southwest pilot group achieved their TA with transparency. Until we see a little of that all of you are guessing. Those of us that signed the petition are doing exactly what SM has asked, getting involved with a unified voice. Remember the NC and reps work for us, and as long as I'm paying into this Union with hard earned cash, I'm going to raise a stink every now and then.
I agree we should be in on the ask. (Survey results after a TA). As said before, we are the only ones in this process that don't know. The NC/ mec / and company all know. The problem is, they publish the ask. Next month the ask moves down as the bargaining process moves forward and audi et al go completely ape-crap on here because our ask decreased. They try another failed recall, take up alpa resources, and fracture unity further. It seems correct to say this info black-out is to protect us from ourselves. They may be right. I don't know.
