The latest is that the company is still suing the union... The judge set milestone dates for briefs and rebuttals, etc... in reference to company request for a summary judgment and union request for dismissal, those dates run through 20 Jul. At the end of the lawyer enrichment program just described, the judge will rule (after a few months) to neither dismiss nor provide a summary judgement and a trial date will be set for sometime in 2018. In the mean time zero negotiations between union negotiating team and company have transpired nor will they as that would serve to undermine the company's case that section 6 negotiations are not appropriate and we wouldn't participate in their amalgamation process. All the while attrition continues to accelerate. January was a bit alarming as over a month worth of hiring was wiped out by attrition. Feb wasn't as bad, but March was hideous and April is off to a fast start with chunks of classes at other carriers containing former pilots from our ranks.
Lastly, if an offer (rather unlikely) were made, we wouldn't know until there's a TA or the company sends us one of their e-mails followed by a hard copy letter in a padded envelope (neither received). No need to publicly debate and fight over the merits of what was offered, that's the negotiating team's job. That's why they represent us. When their work is done we get our say (hopefully) by voting on their work.
