Agreed. APA has already informed USAPA that the only agreement begins with using the Nic. Barring that, they won't negotiate anything. Then it's on to Arbitration where the COMPANY provided certified list is the Nic award. That's been expressed to USAPA as well. All roads lead to a new nic inclusive contract. It's not in Dougies financial interest anymore to play stupid. Therefore the brisk pace. You may perhaps recall he came to an agreement with 55,000 employees of ANOTHER airline inside of 3 weeks.
He knows what to do when he needs something to get done. LOA93 has saved him over a billion excess dollars. That's enough....unless the merger fails, then it's LOA93 till the end of time.
Does USAPA have something to fear of Arbitration? You seem to want to avoid it like the plauge. Why? Not much faith in your "Constitution and Bylaws?"
Why did Freedom Scab Crimi fail his constituents and run home early like a little crying girl? Was there something more important going on than the AMR merger negotiations for a Union Rep to busy himself with? Probably not....Not at all actually. What was so upsetting?
