luv,

Yes, they are running their playbook. While they are inept in many ways, they have the hammer and will swing it.

I'm not the only one who told folks the TPA didn't have the provisions it had unless the company could take advantage of them when pilots didn't role over on a jcba and get SLI.

And, the company is really in no hurry. The IT and MX issues have to all be worked out before a true, universal combination could be made.

I expect them to take advantage of all aspects of the TPA that can be "partially terminated." Anyone that didn't was listening to eroneous "leverage" claims by certain ALPA reps. Another hook, line, and sinker win for the company.
