Good. You and I may not necessarily agree on what's the right answer whether we arbitrate or not, but I think APA did the right thing here.

Thanks for costing me several thousand APA!

Theyre dragging their dang feet! There's plenty of time for them to put this out for a vote! 10 days is enough. You only need a week max for voting.

Don't worry Kirby is a good guy and will get permission from his boss to capitulate to APA and give the extension.

APA ?

God are we ****ed, or what ?

Man, with this degree of Stockholm Syndrome, 2020 going to be an absolute massacre. I swear to sunny Jesus, some of these kids are absolutely lost.

Dude, APA couldn't have met the deadline if they wanted to because Management didn't give them ALL the final language until the last minute, FAR later then they promised.

You simply have GOT to be in some type of management position.

One of his first posts on the TA was that management didn't have to give us these raises they are just trying to do the right thing.

It's sad, really. I fear for our future with reasoning like that...

No its all strategy, they are setting management up for contract 2020. Management just thinks they are getting away with concessions from the pilot group during the most profitable time EVER, but we will show them in 2020. Management will never know what hit them
