That would be true just got the memo from ASA MEC and ALPA national. It basically will allow a panel of 3 people to "decide" a contract and should either party choose not to accept it in comes the 30 day cooling off period. At that point "super-mediation" sessions take place and at 0001 on day 31 it is strike time. With that being said - I want to say thank you to whoever pushed this it is about time.

Can someone post it?

I'm away from home and for some reason this computer won't open my web-mail to read the Connection or the link to the latest Connection on the MEC web-site. I'd appreciate someone posting it here. Thanks - I'm ready to walk.

Is this binding arbitration ????

What if management accepts the offer of arbitration. How long does all that drag out ??? Another year or so ??

Just to be clear on this point, it is a request for binding arbitration and the parties must decide if they want to enter into such arbitration, putting it into the hands of the panel. The commitment to accept the outcome of arbitration is made in advance of the arbitration board's proposal.

I can't recall an instance where an airline and its pilot group ever actually entered into binding arbitration. Can anyone help out on this?

I'm not positive but I think the Alaska pilots were victims of binding arbitration. Whether the arbitration was binding or not they sure got hosed.

Poor ASADrivel, what will he do now. His little management job may go bye-bye now.
About time this happened. I don't anticpate ASA/ALPA agreeing to arbitration. The union will use it to get the company to finish the contract, or else the pilots will be out the door. Simple as that.

VOTED IN FAVOR!

Will Skywest Pilots fly ASA struck work? What protections does Skywest have in assuring they will not?
