YES, YES, And YES.

But I wouldn't be surprised if this MEC were not instructing the NC to ask for it. I don't know a single person who will vote yes without retro. So it's extremely important to everyone I know.

The clock start this week.

My guess is that a partial IPO will occur BEFORE any contract.......that way indigo passes the "cost" of the contract to the shareholders.......

A partial Initial Public Offering? Is that when the company offers stock but nobody wants it?

On another note, has anyone heard anything on the arbitration on LOA67?
I'm going to speculate the company hasn't spent an ounce of effort to provide evidence to the arbitrator of the poor business conditions claimed in 2016. So it is probable, to me, that we'll "win" in arbitration.

That being said, why wouldn't we ask for retro pay back to the date the grievance was filed? LOA67 and Section 6 negotiations are separate but if an arbitrator determines we were entitled to upward pay adjustments on the date specified by LOA67, then that becomes admissible ammunition in Section 6.

I should have been more clear: I am talking about retro pay on the contract AND LOA 67. We should be paid all the way back to the day this rathole airline first met the profitability trigger for the 67 raise.

There's nothing for them to pay us... all LOA 67 says is the company will negotiate upward pay adjustments in good faith... there was no specification on what an upward pay adjustment actually is... so I may be wrong, but if we win the arbitration, it sounds like all the arbitrator can make the company do, is negotiate in good faith... and that, as we all know, is a turd... and not even a polished turd

Unfortunately this will be the outcome of LOA 67 arbitration.

Yep. In addition to LOA 67 being way too long, the wording is pathetically weak. So we have that......

The only benefit I can see from the arbitrator, and it's a real stretch, is if he asks Indigo to open up the books to substantiate "challenging economic times". That would truly make Indigo go flippin' nuts. Other than that, I don't think we'll get anything from LOA 67.
