You come across as a know it all. Do you actually have any real world experience on any pilot union or are you just another keyboard warrior? I apologize in advance; I’m not trying to pick on you. Just because a TA gets voted down doesn’t mean that the NMB can and/or will “ice” the two parties involved. In the case of Alaska, a TA was achieved outside of mediation. In any case, the NMB can’t arbitrarily park anyone. There’s a process for that. Did you know that was a tactic used by our own negotiators/MEC as a fear tactic against their own pilot group in the last contract that we voted on? More importantly, which party desperately needs a contract here at Alaska? Fear not!
