Meetings this week have been productive and the Negotiators are still working through scope....once that is solidified they can move on. Again, stil waiting on the Company.
Negotiations continued this past week in Washington D.C. with the Company and the NMB. Progress was made on Fleet Scope with a few open items still remaining, talks about Title II will be next week as well as M&R Scope.
The broader economic issues that cross between both Fleet and M&R still need work as well. Safe to say at this time things still remain fluid. The executive committee will be meeting next week again with the possiblity of the full negotiation committee coming back to DC in following week. The goal now is to achieve an "Aggreement in Principle" and then go back in and go page by page to make sure we have captured the intent of what was discussed - in short dot the i's and cross the t's. Once a completed full book TA is done, we will be explaining the process of you getting the agreement to review and the voting procedure.
