When RJ was in the room with AR negotiating, RJ was always reasonable and tried finding solutions. AR's "strategy" was only to sink his heels in and push for an impasse.... Sound familiar? The current NC has operated in the almost exact manner, and JR has been involved in doing so. You and I know GU has been more than happy to just keep fighting Allegiant and has done everything (will continue to do so indirectly) to get to an impasse. He wants to have that notch on his belt. VPS has become an echo chamber where the source of info is JR, his pals, some who make up the current BUS (slate). Like Jimmy said, every person on that slate is a good person, but they are absolute hardliners that believe the only way to a contract is through an impasse. I encourge you and everyone to ask questions, hard direct questions to both slates and decide. But I assure you (bc you're a smart guy), that it be very evident who is actually interested in putting Allegiant pilots FIRST while colaborating with the Airline Division director, and who will allow him to give the directives. Cheers
