I get your frustration. I hope you reconsider your decision to stop backing the PAC, wearing the lanyard, and hanging the tag.
Good correction. My apologies.
Yes. Frustration is an understatement. Mediation would never go in our favor. Walking away from mediation would not get us any friends in Congress/WH. We will NEVER be allowed to strike. Our leverage is limited, since as pilots we are all greedy and can’t help but pick up open time/PP, CCO extensions, etc, establishing a status quo that ties our hands during negotiations. Not getting to a TA until 2024 that would likely be Delta/American +$1 in total contract value is not a great negotiating strategy…IMHO.
Hopefully we will have a better update from the MEC soon.
Fly safe out there.
