Because we didn’t want to negotiate with the “B” team. Ironically the “B” team could have helped us get into mediation quicker which IMHO is the only way we get a new contract.

The B team doesn’t negotiate nor are they authorized to. They play sudoku and delay, delay, delay. Remember, there’s parties requesting mediation and the NMB accepting those parties into mediation, 2 separate events. NMB wouldn’t accept us into mediation if barely any progress was made. So we could take a small pay bump and pension increase or take nothing and be at the same place later this year. I think we made the right choice….🤷♂️

Honest question for the old heads: When in the history of the IPA have we ever negotiated (or not negotiated) based on what another labor group was doing?

No sense in whining about a reality you can’t change.
