Can anyone here provide a sourced answer for this? I’ve always been under the impression that the TA’d sections were under NDA until everything was agreed to and approved by the NC/MEC. I haven’t ever heard of this info being released during other companies’ negotiations so I’m curious to hear from all those here demanding transparency if it’s even allowed.

If that were to happen and CO knew about it they would undoubtedly lowball the offer - and probably the next one if the idea became that this wasn't the "best offer" on the table. Keep in mind that the TA you eventually get to vote on will be revision 20+. It will have already been sent back and forth dozens of times - it's not the "first offer" and that kind of thinking will kill the entire process

I’m kinda disappointed with the mediator, I mean, I hope the NC would have gone in and showed Deltas pay rates, the fact that we had buybacks, and our high profit margin…then look across the table to the mediator and say, “Well? You gonna mediate?” Can’t he go, “Hey FDX, given all this stuff in front of me, your proposed rate is waaaaaay too low, come back with another offer”?

Arbitration on the other had would be a different story. In that case, they take all the info presented and use their judgement to settle the issue.

Well that’s really not the way mediation works. It’s not the mediator’s job to make specific suggestions to either party or to push things in a certain direction, he’s there to get them to come to an agreement between themselves.

Does any other pilot group get the details of TA'd sections? Some just want to punch holes in everything, how can you expect the NC to negotiate under those conditions.
I love the unity. I wonder which one of you is the clown on JF wanting to get rid of ALPA because their email wasn't answered. Same person that has admitted they are too lazy to look something up in the contract.

I think in general, we as pilots, want to know all available information as soon as possible. We’ve been trained and conditioned that way from the beginning of flight training. I certainly would prefer that I could look at the TAd sections. Bit I’m not sure it would be the best idea right now.
