I think there are a bunch of wildcards at play now:
1) What will the new JCBA look like? How long before we vote on it, is it voted in?
2) Will that allow us to capture any new flying in the near term?
3) Will Delta's TA be ratified? If so, what are the short and longer term ramifications for the CRJ side of the house?
4) Will other pilot groups try to follow Delta's lead if TA is passed? What effect will that have? Over what period of time?
5) Pilot "shortage"? Will it happen? How fast and how much?
I don't have a real clue as to what change all of these will bring. It could be a wild ride. I'll hang on as long as it makes sense, but only for so long.
