I actually read it as quite promising. Sure it shows that the company is doing absolutely nothing in terms of negotiating with us, and no it doesn't look like we will get anything negotiated in the next two week session.

But is that bad? I think its exactly as expected. The company will either push this to the 11th hour or actually allow us to strike. We've communicated our willingness to do so, we've done our jobs...it is the company which is painting itself in bad light and simply giving us more ammo and the NMB less reason not to release us sooner than later.

1.5% for LOA 67...AFTER the arbitrator told them to negotiate...yeah the NMB will love that.
