They expected a full contract to be negotiated and put to a vote shortly after the amenable date????? What kind of contract did they expect would result from a rapid negotiation?

I get a lot of emails. I don't read them all and I don't waste my time sorting through tons of chaff to find a small kernel of wheat. If there were earth-shattering information out there, it'd be posted here. It's all quiet here except for the normal complaints.

Not picking up a trip that another guy's trying to drop (but will be unable to drop due to coverage) is sending the company a message? What message would I be sending the company? This pickup/drop has zero impact on the company one way or the other. It does, however, make a fellow pilot happier that he's able to drop the trip.
Edit: I wasted some time going through my emails on this subject. The last one I found was dated March 7 and shows exactly what I expected - normal progress on negotiations.
