Check your premises.
The MEC is still waiting for recall results of the C171 (IAH) Chair and an interim and permanent FO rep along with the final election results in C57 (LAX). They will also elect a MC likely by the end of January.
Hopefully, they can give the NC some marching orders based on what they know of the Delta pilots' AIP, but the company was unresponsive using Delta's deal as an excuse. What we want to ask for regarding sick leave, STD, LTD, reserve improvements and other work rules will not be simple, but our initial ask will obviously exceed Delta's deal.
Negotiating 101.
