Good News for the Pinnacle Pilots?
so here is my question. i wasn't able to listen to the call last night but a friend of mine said that our next mediated negotiating session is going to be held in washington dc, with a member of the NMB. he seemed pretty excited about it because that means we are actually going to be with the people who can release us if things dont work out good. Rumor has it that the reason we are going there is because we had already ta'd the scheduling part of the new contract, and at the last moment the company threw it out and it really mad the mediator mad. pretty much saying once something is ta'd its bad faith bargaining to go back and start changing things. what do you all think. is this the news we have been waiting for, or is this just more fluff and the should hold the meetings in SGF again.

I was curious how long it would take for someone to put an update up... I was just going to lay low on it for once- no sense in getting everyone's hopes up...
That being said this is a step TOWARDS a TA.

Don't put too much faith, or any faith in the NMB for that matter. They will not release you under this administration. You will only get a contract if the company wants to give you one, period.
Just a little tidbit from somebody who lived through this crap for 5 years. If the person who will be sitting in on your negotiations is who I think she is, she is afraid to do her job. So don't count on anything happening.

I agree with sweptback. I do not think we will be released this year. Maby next year depending on who gets elected. If McCain is in office, we (all pilots) are screwed because he is anti-pilot. Sorry to get political, but there is more hanging on this election than ever before.
