While I understand your sentiment, the only leverage we have as a pilot group is an eventual release by the NMB. Until then this is just the company playing games with us. I'm not saying that giving an LOA over FAR 117 was good, but if it really did buy us more favor from the mediator then it actually got us closer to exercising the most leverage we'll ever have.

Also, some of the language that we "gave up" alpa legal felt would have never won at arbitration and I agree. Specially the ability to make yourself illegal per 117 with a phone call before an rdp block of days. To expect a neutral arbitrator to side with language that was contrary to 117 in an arbitration hearing could have potentially taken away credibility and leverage for even taking it that far.
