I'm anticipating the Board to force out a substandard TA (in good faith, naturally) and force us to vote on it. If we want to prove that we really will hold out for industry standard, it's up to us to vote this first one down. (Thereby dragging this out months longer.)
Meanwhile the CO hopes that they've beaten us down enough so that people will vote "It's been too long already" and pass it by a 50.0000001% margin.
No way. The Mediafor and /or the NMB cant make the MEC put out a T/A, they can only apply pressure. A failed T/A would set us back at least 12 months IMO.
Also, the mediator is well aware of our ask and IMO if she didnt feel it was close to being reasonable she wouldnt be wastinf everyones time by having all of the decision makers available.
If she thought our ask was absurd I dont think she would be requesting them to be available
