I think you are correct sir. However, hopefully, the vote has given the MEC and the NC...and even the company....new clarity.

Peak is Peak for a reason. It's Peak Demand, and even more importantly it's Peak Revenue. It's also Peak pilot services required. In 2006, UPS ratified their TA in the summer and the company agreed on our TA about a month later. It was approved and signed right before Peak. In 2015, the company was drafting quite a bit that summer, but we supposedly ran out of money and voted in a TA which didn't raise the A Plan cap - right before Peak. This year, it appears we ran out of patience under the threat of being parked all summer. What would of happened if the NC & MEC said, thanks for the movement but we still don't think this will ratify --- see you guys after Labor Day....as we got closer to Peak! How would the company have responded in Sept after such a pause? Perhaps, that's worthy of its on thread.
