Wishful thinking for the NK side of this equation. 2 of our 3 negotiators are from the same 'discount pilot' mentality that delivered our subpar 2018 contract.
If the joint negotiating team doesn't come through then we vote down the JCBA and demand that both MEC's replace the negotiating committee. If the MEC's refuse to recall the negotiators then we demand through our LEC's a recall of the MEC's. My crystal ball says that this is exactly what we will have to do.
