sub-note 40: Not only does the Wye River meeting confirm that the East pilots understood the force of the Nicolau Award, it confirms that they were willing to live under it. By the terms of their proposal, the list would be operative immediately upon execution of a JCBA but with restrictions for seven additional years. (The East pilots’ Wye River proposal contemplated that a JCBA would be ratified by June 2008, which was a reasonable assumption given the state of negotiations, including the Kirby proposal. See West R. Ex. C (East Wye River Proposal) 22.) Had the East’s Wye River Proposal been in effect, the Nicolau list would have been the list to be used in this proceeding without question and the carryover restrictions of the East pilots’ Wye River Proposal would have dropped within months of the effective date of the Award in this case…
Another assumption ? It confirms nothing! The arbs are all attorneys, upon an execution of a " joint CBA" well the EASTS , wye river proposal, key word " proposal" ! Just like the NIC? You were warned ! But then again you were told USAPA will not get 300 votes.
