The negotiating committee met with management yesterday and management was willing to negotiate a non concessionary contract with improvements. Management wants this done by May and wants to take advantage of opportunities. Everyone was willing to start passing proposals, except the LXJT side. They said they won't be ready to negotiate until June.

LXJT former MEC chair is still involved and still delaying as before. He is trying to use the same tactics that CAL used during their SLI with United. The plan is to delay negotiations so as to delay the SLI. The hope is that the ASA side will park lots of 50 seaters and they will get a better award from the arbitrator. This has been verified by 3 different ASA MEC members and they are pissed.

This is a very dangerous game the LXJT MEC is playing.
 
No different from the previous three years. You'll show Inc who's boss, right?

Hold up. The SLI will be decided on a snapshot taken at the date of the corporate merger, right?

Doesn't involve your 'precious' SKYW let alone a friggin disp, and yea, we'll be taking advantage just like mgt does when they're holding all the cards.

Dick Clark - "What if I were to say...ASA and ExpressJet Pilots Complete Merger"

Contestant #1 - "Topics you'll never see on Flight Info?"

Dick Clark - "Yeah, that was a tough one. But we will see you again on tomorrow's show as our reigning champion."

Each time we say no, it's inc who comes crawling back. Happened after the first time we said no to their buyout attempt and it's happening now after voting down the TA. The first time JA said to us, ok we'll see you in 6-9 months in bk court. This time they said we would just have a static fleet plan and shrink to nothing if we vote no. Both times they came back singing a different tune.
