This step of 'mediation' in the process seems absolutely useless. . .Just an opportunity for the company to stall along the way. They had to leave early to get back to NY because of the impending storm? What a complete joke. So their negotiating team is the reason that our IROPs are so jacked up. . . We are all supposed to believe that these dudes that company has chosen to negotiate with are sitting in the big chairs during IROPs and making big operational decisions? Completely disappointing and a farce.

If you aren’t seriously ****ed at this point I’m not sure what will get you there.

I’m sure every single RSA got picked up today. On top of many many VDA’s.

If they were flying jb back to NY, they could have completed a full day of negotiations and caught the 1100am flight.

Does anyone know why they go to places like Austin to meet? Wouldn’t it make sense to just alternate between DC and NY? Just curious.....

The mediator sets the location/schedule to mesh with their other responsibilities.

Then QUIT. There’s no good reason to be at a place that you don’t want to be at. Nobody is holding a gun to your head.

April 17th is when the votes will be counted for the FAs. So don't expect anything but fire and brimstone on the 10th either.

More time for the company to draft inadequate proposals. Hopefully there isn't a gust of wind or a thunderstorm in April so we can actually negotiate for an entire planned session. Are we to believe that any future IROP will jeopardize completion of a negotiation week? If so I guess we can count out thunderstorm season...It's pure stall at this point, they know ALPA isn't going to entertain the proposals. It's disrespectful to our pilot group, negotiators, and the mediator himself. Absolute time wasting at our expense. What comes after billboards?
