And the original 2% raise is/was still more than 12 mo's away, so a few extra months to get more is not exactly much of a burden.
And... I'm curious how the pilot group will react to the company knowingly violating an in-hand Cease and Desist order from the arbitrator? Would it look like the months leading up to the CBA? How will that set up the interactions for the upcoming CBA2 negotiations? Not sure it starts off well for mother blue...
You're assuming a show of gumption and awareness from this pilot group that is seldom in evidence.
