Yeah, that would be tough to give up. I was assuming around 5, that's where I am at NK, still see some greener grass out there....
Hope you guys get something reasonable on the table soon. When I see the post about probies getting fired, vacations cancelled, ALPA not increasing their ask, while management changes status quo all over the place, makes me really angry. We got TRO-ed(unfairly IMHO), kept bumping up the ask, and got a just good enough contract in way less time. I honestly think you should be able to sue the NMB for doing nothing by now. Good luck
