Welcome to what we at Atlas have been having to deal with for years before the purchase of Polar and since. You guys should count your blessings of what you got under a previous non Atlas lead management. We at Atlas have been having to deal with the ex-Lorenzo group day one. That may be changing now with the introduction of Mr. Flynn, but that still has to be proven out yet.
Our backlog is due to the highest disciplinary actions in the ALPA membership which take priority above other grievances. That includes all of the US ALPA carriers. Done so just to log jamb the grievance process up on our other issues we want addressed. Unlike those of our sister union which they just don't schedule the arbitrations unless they are MEC grievances.
The biggest resolution to this is a combined merged CBA that hopefully has language in it for the System Board of Adjustments more conducive for labor. Otherwise, we both sit in stagnation.
