Bottom line. . .

Our MEC, and specifically the two junior members who are recommending this. . . shouldn't even be suggesting it right now.

Two years from an amendable date on our contract, and they want US as a pilot group to come to the table with them and management to bring PBS on property PRIOR to a contract amendable date?

YGTBSM.

Heads will need to roll boys and girls. This is an utter slap in all of our faces. We perhaps HAD PBS as a bargaining chip, and every day our MEC and union officers continue to allow management to think we are going to give a concession before our amendable date is up that bargaining chip keeps getting smaller and smaller.

Wait two years - then let's talk. Even if it means taking 5 years to get a contract again, albeit, I wasn't around for the past 5 year nightmare, but I for one will NEVER agree to a concession prior to a contract becoming amendable. It's a personal decision, and I sure as hell hope I'm not the only one.
