How the NC survived the recall wave is astounding. At this point, we might as well pull our proposal, survey, wait for AAs TA, file for mediation, and strike vote. It will add another 8-12 months to the process but we could actually end up with a contract that won't be a 50+1% yes vote as the current one seems to shaping up as.

We have pulled our proposals twice in the last few months once a new bar was set. If AA sets the bar even higher we can pull it again. Wasn't it BQ that said they wanted to let market conditions settle before continuing negotiations? Mediation usually ends with getting an industry standard contract, generally this is not what people want, but considering we are nowhere near industry standard it would actually be a significant gain for us if AA matches or exceeds Delta in compensation/QOL. I think a mediator would actually laugh at our current proposal for being so low, all it would take is sliding Delta/Spirit/Jetblue/Alaska current book across the table on scheduling provisions and reserve rules to show how far towards the bottom we really are.

We'd look like morons if we did both at the same time.
Some of y'all really need to read up on the RLA.
