Negotiations or not, we are so far apart on just about every item that it will be well into 2015 before anything is put in front of us again. The shrinking has begun and is unstoppable even if we are awarded E175 flying, we will still have a net loss of airframes regardless. Combine that with the fact that 27 ERJs are being parked soon, as well as 4 CRJs and the CRJ IAD base closing by 3/15, there's zero reason for either side to "give in" as the walls are literally crumbling around us. Max pay until the last day is more prevalent as time moves forward.
I used to be a believer in this company, but the apathy and paralysis from management, especially that of BH and most of A-Tech is stunning and in many ways disgraceful. There's going to be nothing but bad news for the foreseeable future I'm afraid.
