Do we want to be 4 years behind in the good years? As soon as a downturn occurs, we won’t be 4 years behind to go backwards...
Yeah...that's the thing.
Those 120 months come up next summer, and here's where reasonable people can disagree about what happens next.
I'm of the opinion that a failure of this TA means that we need to recall the MEC and NC and try again. I don't think this will take months, it'll take years to determine who the right people are, outline a strategy, and then negotiate what the pilot group wants from the company.
I'm not saying that this is the only path forward, and I'm not saying that it's impossible to send the current NC back in to continue to negotiate. I'm saying that I wouldn't want to see that happen after such a monumental failure as a rejected TA.
If the NC didn't get it right, we need new people, otherwise we're going to get the same result again.
