Self-Help is outside the contract.  Union demanded it bargaining for a new contract.   That froze the current contract.   No offers "outside the contract" is authorized under STATUS QUO, at least not until NMB releases parties to self-help.   

You put your fingers in that socket and didn't understand how electricity works.   Sorry!   You asked for Section 6 negotiations, company smartly asked for mediator to get through the process quickly, and now you are whining.
