I don't really disagree with any of it or any of the stuff that's been posted lately about our leverage position.
Unfortunately, the pipeline of cadets that Frontier came up with will help management significantly. That being said, we still have the RLA process and we are just going to have to slowly jump thru all the hoops and get the Arbitrator to at least threaten to release us to self help. Leverage be damned, we are just going to have to play the game.
It's going to take a while, but the NC has a plan to get us there. They got us to arbitration very quickly. Have faith in the plan and the people. JL has done this before and he's got the help of the top ALPA negotiations attorney, Bruce York. All hope is not lost, but patience is required in large doses.
According to a union person I talked to, the company is actually kind of interested in getting stuff moving and working with us.
We shall see how that info holds up. (I am probably wrong)
