Btw this time around the NMB is telling us to pound sand on any chance of being released because they think the company is being more than reasonable with their industry bottom offer. Attrition and recruitment are our main leverage at this point.

The company is also arguing that a full retro payment would be their entire profit for a year and it’s in no way possible. Never mind the retro could’ve been much smaller if they weren’t stalling at every turn. Even in the best negotiating environment in our careers the system is against us.

Get out! Don’t wait for Frontier to pay because indigo learned from mistakes last time how to now avoid a strike and still never pony up.
It is on the NMB to offer arbitration to both parties but either side can proactively petition the NMB to extend the offer.
