This kind of bargaining attitude would result in being placed on ice by NMB and *never* released into a cooling-off period.
Looks tough on the internet, tho
Just reviewed the RLA flowchart, again, and there’s nothing in there preventing the process from running exactly like I describe, other than past precedent of pilots allowing it to run this way by being endlessly patient. The NMB has no authority to ice us forever as you claim.
But well done supporting your company during a period where we have more leverage than anytime in the past 20+ years.
And I wasn’t trying to be tough as much as effective, but I am ready to go on strike today if that’s what you mean.
