From the assertions, pretty odd not to see a pretty hefty cancellation fee hit the books\streets.
Or maybe our Wet Lease contracts are just like our hotel contracts, we reserve the right to cancel them with 24 hours advance notice at no cost to us

Attempt 1 to temporarily fill LEC 26 with old guard failed as 2/3 elected reps took the interim seats. I argue this week was attempt 2 to get those seats filled with old guard, and any others would be a bonus.

IF (and that’s a big if, I get it) the senior/older retirement crowd is pushing for a TA1.1 that still improves retirement at the expense of QOL, pay and scope (what TA1 did - pitting senior vs junior), they have two deadlines approaching that make it difficult to forward another concessionary contract. The first deadline is 1 Mar, when LEC 26 elected reps take their permanent seats. The second deadline is when PM is replaced. Cancellation of Tuesday’s meeting effectively closed the door for the MEC to send TA1.1 to the pilot group before 1 Mar.

Tell me where I screwed up that math 🤷🏼‍♂️

Am I right in assuming TA 1.1 would fail currently at the MEC level or no?

I perceive that the old guard essentially said “fine, if you want to recall block 7 we’ll play that game too and recall everyone…what do we have to lose.” A senior mentor here reached out to me to make sure I vote, but of course asked me where I stood before he made that push. He also reached out to me a few days before ratification closed pushing me to vote yes.

It’s very frustrating to see that not only was our union content to send us such a divisive, senior-vs-junior, TA for ratification. More frustrating is that so many of them still seem to want to do it, with the endless recalls, MBCBP education, fellating of PM, etc.
