How are we not working towards a joint decision? Did 9E pull out of joint negotiations while I was asleep last night?

And if we had followed XJ and 9L's MECs and not picketing, would we have a deal? No one knows, and it's impossible to say. So, I don't get your point. And as I said in the other thread, what can pilots do that aren't negotiators to "(do) something constructive, like working towards a contract?" I'm not at the table, so I can only do what I CAN. Unless you're one of the negotiators, I don't think you can do more than me or a Colgan guy can until it comes down to a vote. I don't see how business as usual is considered working towards a contract anymore than it is in hindering it.
