This episode of Five by Five features a discussion with Captains Jim Lally, Gary Michalk, and Mark Manausa from the Negotiating Committee(NC). The NC talks to us about the complex issues involved in Section 6 contract negotiations.

The strategy moving forward, timelines, and the challenges of dealing with company proposals are detailed. They also discuss issues like grievance resolution, the importance of Section One Scope, and Job Security. The company’s approach to negotiations, described as surface bargaining, and the frustrations of unworkable proposals are highlighted.
Mediation sessions, the role of the mediator, and the potential steps forward are discussed. The importance of pilots' involvement and participation in upcoming polling and surveys is emphasized, alongside the need for volunteers to assist SPSC in various bases.
