Who is they? The only people delaying the merger process is Polar. The only way we're gonna find out if it's BS or not is to complete the process and see. If it's BS, then we take the combined CBA's and walk into AAWW and start from there, with a united stand between the pilot groups.
The continued delay tactics by Bobb and Robin (not the Polar MEC, mind you, ALPA nor anyone else has heard from the other elected MEMBERS of the Polar MEC in over a year) only feed into the company's plan, if the plan is indeed to fake the merger to the last minute. The sooner we get it done, the sooner we'll know and can move on....pretty simple.
Standing in the corner having a temper tantrum accomplishes nothing....
BTW, which of the arbitrations was extended? I thought it was the FE one, having nothing to do with the merger.
