iIs better late than never. But like I explained, it takes 2.5 to 3 years to pose a credible threat of self help under the RLA AFTER filing for mediation. We are already more than two years deep into this negotiation cycle. Why we have hesitated to file at all beyond that required to look like we’re not trying to game the system is baffling.
Filing for mediation closes zero doors. It is virtually zero cost. Yet we approach it as if it contains kryptonite.
