We gave them JD 30 days to figure his stuff out, we will see if he comes through, if he doesn't, there better be an email at 12:01am the next day with new picket dates and a lot of them.

Certainly not out of the realm of possability, however people do need to remember that we need ot uphold a status quo and show we want to negotiate and work with our management.

Scenario A: Barry finally gets sacked for losing money and terrible performance for years but it just so happens to be on the day Spirit gets 50 million for NOT meeting their objectives in bankruptcy.
Scenario B: Barry gets fired the same day Spirit gets 50M. Shortly after the new CEO asks the union lead to sign a NDA and a little time since they are trying to craft a merger agreement. Of course no reason to have a new contract or picket right before a merger since that would be useless.
I know where my money would be placed.

This is where your union leadership is failing. Too many hand out LOA's and a pacified media promotion. You may want to consider new leadership that can do more than quote the RLA and say worthless talking points.

I don't remember what the LOA was for ,but with our current situation I want a guy who is going to walk into a room with a bunch of money on the table and come back with some of it, not add to the pot, At least net positive. A savvy negotiator would never come away from that meeting empty handed. To come away at a loss puts the man in Dupe territory.
