You are not making any sense Tom. I guess I shouldn't expect anything else from you, you will drink whatever kool aid the union puts in front of you. We've all got the receipts. You were declaring that AR was going to win and the corruption charges were all just management lies literally the day before AR was ousted and GU took over. You have zero credibility and lack any ability to think for yourself.
If you are correct and the mediator put us on ice and you think we should just stay on ice and refuse to do what the mediator asks then you are more gullible than even I thought possible.
What makes anyone think the Mediator has put the union on Ice. The way that would typically happen if they where not following the Mediator directions like not being prepared for the sections asked for. It does not matter if both sides are far apart or if the company does not like the proposals or lack of proposals. If they union has not been asked to be prepared for those sections they are not in any vilotation of the process. The company does not get to set the schedule the Mediator does. The company could meet with the union outside Mediation as the Union has said they are willing to do and they could likely have those conversations. It is hard to confince me the company truly wants a deal soon and one we will be proud of and then will not meet without the mediator. Then everything pumped through their people in training is to try and convince the pilot group that they really should not expect to get what everone else gets.
