Is it irritating? Yes. Is it wrong the way they did it? Yes. Should you have expected anything different? Of course not, as past performance is definitely indicative of future returns with any management.
I'm just saying that planning for a strike next year seems pretty rash. Maybe I'm wrong.
Their leverage is DELAY (sanctioned by the RLA), our leverage is a STRIKE. It is the only answer when the company decides to say either NO or nothing at all. Should we take NO as an answer for the next 2-3 years (with subsequent bottom of the industry pay, benefits, and rules), then Strike?
I think next year is plenty of time for the company to do the right thing and keep this a "happy place".
