But given where we are in negotiations, I think the company is avoiding it simply because it would again make their bargaining tactics look worse in the eyes of the NMB.

Give large sums to attract new pilots, but don't want to pay pilots on property a slightly BELOW industry average wage?

Not saying you're wrong, but the idea that the company is doing ANYTHING to look less-worse in front of the NMB is humorous. Seems to me the company has been laying back, with their feet kicked up, laughing pretty good at the NMB.

So what's next? Any more meetings or are you all waiting for NMB to do something? If so, how long before something is done?
