Then it was "The company really wants to make us a good offer, lets keep PM and wait for the good offer!"
And then now we're at "The company doesn't even want to go back to square one (CBA 2015), any QOL improvements beyond CBA 2015 aren't even being entertained, we gotta wait for the NMB!"
I think enough pilots are finally beginning to see that the company is just using this process to continue to delay our CBA, and the screaming minority gang and their representatives that didn't get recalled were there to assist the company with that. I doubt we've seen the last of it, but at least we're on the upswing now in terms of MEC leadership.
^This. The bullsh#t from the company cannot be accepted anymore regardless of who the NC Chair is. None of us should accept the foot dragging from the company. The enemy is the company, no one else.
And anyone claiming a "hijack" to ask for proffer of arbitration needs to read the PM. This doesn't delay anything, since the NMB can say No. The company wasn't going to magically respond to our latest supposal with everything we asked for. That's ignorant. Myself and many are DONE waiting for the company to come to the table with what we've EARNED.
