Scheduling is a long way from agreement as well.
I do not expect even a first TA this year.
Stop believing all the planted rumors and feel-good BS being planted by the VP of flight. That guy shot every bit of his credibility last winter with the same bull.
so if things are not progressing, then why is it that we now are in contract talks 3 to 4 days /week as opposed to 2 days every other month. You have to admit this is progress from what it was. as for a TA, i agree this year no but next year porbably. This once again a huge improvement from what 3 years and nothing. As for what is off and on the table, why fight for the big stuff now. get the small stuff first then deal with the big stuff like pay, which will probably require NMB assistance. hence why Nmb said they would not waste their time till the small stuff was complete.
As for the VP of flight, not going by his rumor, but by what reuters has just reported.I.E. large possible airbus order. Sounds to me like you are fustrated with stagnation as many are. no need to be a hater. look at my handle, not exactly been fun for me or 2000 + other guys. be pessimist or optimist your choice. just don't be hating. once again this is all prefaced with IMO.
