I think JB pilots evaluated this LOA on its merits and understand that it will have ZERO effect on the ultimate TA/CBA we vote on/end up with.
Having said that, when they bring us a TA, I will scrub it line by line and make a decision to vote yes/no on its merit independently of what the MEC/LEC tell us.
Will I take their inputs/road shows into account when making my voting decision? Absolutely. But I won't vote yes just because they brought it to us and think we should vote it in.
B6 will use this raise to delay resolution when we go to mediation-and we ARE going to mediation. Forget about 2017 guys unless, of course, a new fleet type or merger is announced and B6 needs a quick deal. Enjoy the 500/month.
