Either side could withdraw after 2 years - Company elected to back in February because of the perceived abuses of AVA. Guys dropping trips and then picking up friend's trip at AVA since reserve forecast is not an issue. Not an issue the settlement was meant to solve. But hey it happened, and now they've withdrawn. Maybe it'll be worse for them if they don't have sufficient reserves to cover everything...or maybe it wont.
You do understand that minor grievances are filed under the RLA and a settlement is typically better than going all the way to an arbitrator right? This was maybe the best settlement for the pilot's I've seen in 15 years - except for the ones that were obvious wins (75/76 passover for example).
So stop you complaining, read a bit more on the law governing the industry you work in and try and do something helpful.
