ASA closer to a strike

[aussiefly]

30 day cooling off period.......We either get a contract in those 30 days or we strike.

When Comair was on strike no Skywest pilot flew struck work. Should be the same this time. By the way, our management seems to be in a real hurry to get our pay talks finished. A little bird says people up high are meeting with lowly pilots to hammer something out. Guess their feeling the crunch to get something done in the next 30 days. Time will tell. http://skywestalpa.org/

Anyone have any insight into what goes into the NMB's decision of whether or not to actually Proffer arbitration in our case?

What is the precident when one side requests a Proffer & how long is a decision likely to take?

If the NMB concedes and Proffers Arbitration, does the union have the option to then decline (like the company can) or are they bound to arbitration, since they made the original request?

How likely are we to actually have the "End Game" move forward from this request?

I wouldn't be surprised if the "brain trust" at the ASA general offices will not cooperate and we end up in the 30 day cooling off period.

Good for us to finally see a light at the end of the tunnel perhaps.

If either party declines binding arbitration, the cooling off period comences.

This would be a perfect time for Skywest to Unionize. You will be afforded protections should we strike. Good luck to all. I hope this bs gets resolved so we can focus on getting people from A to B.

Well I am glad the time has finally come. According to another e-mail from the MEC, Alpa begins a full court press for unionization over at Skywest this week. Hey I guess Good does go around.

But, either way, ALPA won't accept the proffer, leading to the cooling off period..

ASA wont strike.

SkyWest will never unionize.


Count on it!

The key here is, the arbitrator can take an indefinite time "deciding" if he wants to even offer a proffer. The letter from ALPA simply is asking him to make one. This could easily drag on for 10 more years.
