Side note; any idea how we can "force" them back to the negotiation table? Or is that assuming the moderator will give a damn?
Time is not on our side despite what some of the louder voices say on here. The industry is past peak earnings and the economy is overdue for a recession. The MEC has approached this process with inadequately defined goals from the start and honestly - it shows. (What would define a successful conclusion to this process?) Now we are swinging for a grand slam TA with an NMB that will not provide that level of support. And before any of y'all say it, yes I've called everyone under the sun and my opinion remains unchanged.
