Totally missed my point. NWsteeringArmer said the only leverage we had was if the NMB releases us. Not true. There is a reason our union has been inferring at the top of their lungs, do not come here! If no new hires show up to fill the seats they need for the upcoming increase in flying, it creates lots of leverage for us. Heck, the company has already given up the stupid training contract, and they have tried to pay for new hire hotels. They can’t do that though because it’s a change in status quo. Yes, I was once a new hire here, like all of us. But tell me when it has ever happened before when a union is basically telling people not to come here? I understand everyone has their own reasons for wanting to come here, but the more bodies that fill new hire seats, the longer it is before a new contract is achieved. That’s fact.
