My guess is they would try and offer zero time lines to bid on, however this requires agreement between the company and the MEC, which really shouldn't happen in a case like this.

Secondly, if nobody bids them, which we hope they wouldn't, they basically disappear. This doesn't help the company either. My guess is, if we dont sign it, the company will have to come back with something better. It behooves them to allow us to fly less or not at all while still offering "reasonable" pay protections as any hour we are not paid is an hour saved. Or they could just keep paying all of us our min guarantee to sit around in hotels.

Keep in mind, it is in the COMPANIES interest to get this deal done, not ours. They need to come to the table with something fair, not a 19 hour pos.

I just hope that our MEC, which is doing a good job so far, doesn't fall for the old Envoy trick of saying "lets work as a team and we will take care of you all later" tactic. The company will assuredly try and screw us on the backside of this.
