TA1 should have never made it past the MEC. It was painfully inadequate. The MEC and NC should have been more agressive in getting released instead of wasting everyone's time with TA1... the company has 'won' on just about every front for 5 plus years. It's ridiculous and a slap in the face to the PCL line pilots.
Management will continue to drag their feet and offer 'just enough' to keep from being released. They will NOT agree to anything meaningful unless forced to do so. The MEC and Chair should have known this for years!
