Despite public claims otherwise, I believe the UCC will be very reluctant to support another extention to this managements exclusivity period ending in very late December. Additionally, the NDA period for U and Parker will have expired. Based on that, I think Horton & Co. are under enormous pressure to both produce an agreement with the pilots and stop any erosion of the company's viability.

A reprieve in the latter area doesn't make the former more likely. The well is hopelessly poisoned now and the focus for the pilots should now be any strategy that improves a U takeover while still in BK. If that means 3-9 months with no pension contributions and under the tyranny of the 1113, then that would be a small and fairly brief price for a better future for the pilots.
