I can’t wait to dig up this thread a couple of months from now if turns out to be true.

I thought it to be a little far fetched but it came from somebody that has in past been “in the know”.

You are right. I shouldn’t have used the term TA. It was explained to me that the proposed drafting for a section 25 that would swing the vote to pass TA2 is already done.

My only guess as to why this would be done is if the NC is having doubts on the success of TA1.

One of our union reps that recently visited the school house was over heard stating that a second T/A has already been drafted that includes less concessions in section 25. The leadership has identified hot topics items that could be the cause for the potential failure of TA1. What is unknown is how bad the company wants this deal done and at what costs. The NMB will continue talks after a cooling down period.

Full disclosure: This is second hand rumor.

I don’t understand the fear mongering part.

How is it fear mongering?

90% of what is posted on APC is rumor.

Some turn out to be true and some are completely fabricated.
