Thanks, that didn't pop up. My outlook is screwed up for some reason.
I read it and see one thing here to keep in mind - they're still looking at it.
I'm going to wait to light the powder.
Because it is true that the NMB didn't declare STS on that 07APR ruling. Thus it does not allow us to immediately file a grievance over a scope violation. It opened the door to find them STS. This has to be brought back before the NMB again before we can have them declared STS and file.
Although there is a different way I'd like to see this coming out. It should be, hey, good news, NMB issued a statement about RAH being STS for representation. That ruling doesn't allow us to file a grievance per se, but it gave us a lot of ammo we hope to use to show STS and therein file a grievance.
But that's not very tactful but what I am reading here seems very weak but slightly hopeful.
Now don't ask me what I think will come out in May but for now I will hold out a little bit of hope.
This is like the morning after a big lottery drawing, I don't want to know if I won, just let me dream about my A-26 for a few more hours.

Whatever happened to taking care of ourselves?
Imagine the irony if that occurred though.
