Am I angry about that? NO because they are representing THEIR pilots. If we have groups happy with another group's proposal there are pilots being hurt to help others within the groups. This is why we have an arbitrator and it was selected and agreed upon to begin with. It's a known quantity that 2 groups won't agree, much less 3.
I disagree with your thoughts on fair and equitable. Equitable for only one group cancels out fair. This is supposed to be fair and eqitable for all three groups. The whole idea is to find a solution that everyone can live with. The all or nothing attitude may be looking out for Pinnacle pilots, but it sends out bad messages to the other two groups. I feel that your MEC is pouring fuel on an already hot fire by essentially saying they don't want things to be fair and equitable for everyone. In the end I hope that this anger doesn't make it to the flight deck
