"Very likely. There will be no way a contract will be announced on June 15th.
Smisek's EGO will never allow the pilots to win...i.e. set a hard date for completion and have it come to fruition. "

You are probably correct, but who cares if Smisek gets some credit for this. At some point peace has to be made (assuming they want it) and JS is the CEO, like him or not. I can guarantee you after 9+ years of hammering Tilton we got less than zero out of all the antics.

But you sure had better give credit to JH and some to JP (he actually came on board after being shown the truth) for getting this done!
