There is a BOD meeting on June 25. I'm guessing RA would like to be able to announce at least having a T/A at that meeting.
He knows any T/A brought to the pilots is going to pass memory rat, so he's only got to have the MEC vote YES by then, not the entire pilot group.
I'll bet we see a T/A from the NC by mid June, if not sooner, followed by a week of MEC meetings for eye wash, much yelling and screaming about trading PS for a 'raise' more 76 seat RJ's and more productivity gives, then a 10-9 yes vote for the T/A by the BOD meeting.
I just hope I'm wrong about our MEC, for once.
Time value of Concessions and all that.
