I am in no hurry to help ASA push our guys on the street. ASA needs to "get on board" right Cpt Tony?
I haven't seen any "dragging of feet" from either side of the pilot groups. Anyone I've talked to on both sides have only wanted this thing to be over fast and fairly. Who knows what any of the hold ups were for, or who caused them. Who cares really. They put CT in charge of negotiations several months ago to speed things up. Months before any Delta TA. According to the union, there has been good progress for a few months now. Supposedly there's only the scheduling section to be completed.
There is no more ASA, and I don't see how a SLI would put anybody on the street. Unless you mean us loosing flying because of the Delta TA that has yet to pass.
