Negotiators were supposed to meet in August, and the deadline to reach an agreement is September 30th.

I think it will be very telling on how our MEC plans on handling the TA/JV measurement period ending next march. I guess it's not really non compliance until we actually reach the end of the measurement window and look back over the past 3 years. The writing is on the wall though, and while I don't want to be a pessimist, I am still cautiously optimistic that our section 1 provisions will create real growth and expansion for Delta pilots under a push to recede the ratios back into compliance.
