No way we get released by NMB or the mediator by demanding Delta or better pay and work rules. She was management at frontier and spirit. If AR demands that she’ll probably laugh at him. To get delta or better pay we would have to vote down at least one maybe two TAs before we might get released if our demands are delta or better pay and work rules…
It’s as if you and other novices think that the NMB is some monolith. We have to convince the mediator Eva Durham to get released and she spent her career at ULCCs. Good luck convincing her that we deserve delta or better pay hahaha
Good luck convincing the majority of pilots here that the only options are delta or better, or a strike. Alpa would get voted in here so fast and AR would be forced to fly the line and sit reserve. His salary would be cut in half and that 3m house he just built would be in foreclosure within six months. Needless to say, AR isn’t so naive to create his own demise.
You seem to misunderstand mediation, and arbitration. All Eva can do is declare an impasse, she can’t force us to meet in the middle or push either side in one direction or the other. If progress stops being made an impasse is declared and it goes to the full 3 person NMB. Mediation is non binding and a step in the process. Even the railroads got released from mediation into a cooling of period… it was the presidential board and congress that stoped their strike. The same won’t happen to us because we don’t have the same impact. Do a little more digging on to the whole section six process and understand the powers the mediator actually has. A strike is a very realistic probability assuming we can limp along with enough pilots to make it that far without a schedule collapse
