There are only two ways out of the NMB grasp and they don't have the fire power to wait out a release and even if we got one (in years) they would falter in execution as the Company would likely have such a battle plan in place it would scare people so badly that the lines would be crossed faster than pilots at free MGT pizza events. What they need to do is settle this deal, as quickly as possible, before we lose more ground/money and get that timer going to get back into direct bargaining for the next deal.
How is it going so far ? What dates are on the schedule ? oh ya, none.
Tick tock TCT, TC, CC, JT and the rest of the tough guys.
It was the decision of the Previous NC and MEC to enter
expedited mediation on 09/29/2022. That's how we got in the "grasp" of the NMB. So direct you fire at those who put us in this position. It was their statements the company used as a cudgel in response to our proffer of arbitration and request for release. Not a single one of them has taken reponsibility for those actions or shown the slightest bit of regret. In fact they want to complain about the process and the membership unwilling to cosign their bad deal.
Counting money that was never yours is a fools errand and publicly entreating the current leadership "settle this deal, as quickly as possible, before we lose more ground/money" is just what management wants to hear. It is a sad and pathetic state of affairs.
