Not quite,
There is no membership ratification requirement for the seniority list.
The deal is get a contract and it will include the Nic, but the east SCABs violated the terms of that agreement by walking out of negotiations and refusing to negotiate a Nic inclusive contract.
Not to worry, the SCAB union will be gone in short order.
Oh, and BTW, to date, the Nic is still the only accepted system seniority list for all LCC pilots, and get this, LCC and AMR have done a merger deal in which the TWO groups will be integrated.
And, while we are at it.....got that injunction lifted yet? Seems the company has reiterated the fact in their replies to the court that uSCABa is a bunch of POS reneging malcontents, and will as Judge Silver noted, lie cheat and steal whenever given the opportunity.
Have a nice day.
