You will continue to hear this for about four years, then mediation or arbitration. Get used to it or start filling out apps. If you're waiting for a TA to make that decision you're letting sand slip through the hour glass. Hope I'm wrong though.

We don't arbitrate contracts fyi. The mediator will offer it prior to a cooling off period but neither us nor the company would ever agree to it.

Do you represent the MEC/Negotiating committee or the company, regarding that "fyi"?

-or-

Is "we" your personal speculation on the situation, and you don't hold any official position of authority in the matter?

Just asking, because the world is full of possibilities and the official process for a new CBA has just begun.

No inside intel required. I don't think an NMB proffer of arbitration has ever been accepted by either side...ever. Possible? yes. Rejecting the PoA is usually the last step in getting released, so look for that around mid 2020. Might as well tune out 'til about Q4 2019, lest you go mad...

Yeah, that's probably the best advice. Been down this road before in another life. I'm keeping an open mind, supporting the Negotiating Committee, and "relaxing" as much as possible while adhering to all policies, procedures, and regulations.

Not my job? Not my problem!

I agree with the "not my job? not my problem!" statement. I really hope they do offer us a decent TA soon, but I'm surely not going to be very motivated to go above and beyond for them if the process drags on very long. I will do my job as I'm supposed to, but nothing more until we see a deal. I certainly don't want to enable them in their feet-dragging process.

Based on information from those actually negotiating the contract, they feel it will be a matter of months before we get a TA, not years. So I feel and hope you're wrong
