We would also have to strike for either 10 or 14 days before the contracts become a factor. At that point PNCL corp would be bankrupt without the NWA flying since its by far the vast majority of the revenue stream. I have my own thoughts on "why" and "how" which is why I told folks to by the stock for the second time around... I told to buy around $3... its been a few weeks and closed yesterday over $6.. Fall of 06 I said the same thing on the threat of "losing NWA flying if we don't sign the last, best, final offer" and the stock went from $6 to $20. Your welcome!

Don't worry about things outside your control. Stay unified, fly by the book, and trust the MEC. The MEC and PNCL mgmt both are not trying to run this company in the ground- they just threaten it to find a "amicable" middle point. I am thinking the meetings will end up with a TA in time- whether that's at the end of this month or next month, year, etc. Everyone who works at PNCL knew the payrates and workrules when they showed up- sure we wanted/expected a contract but in the back of our heads we all knew the other possibility that we are currently living. In Scott's words from May "I am P*ssed"...... MY MEC SPEAKS FOR ME!
