I like how so many think it took 4 years to negotiate this TA. It took 1 week! That's when the company for some unknown reason threw their best and final offer on the table. Guess what, we took it!! Someone, something, a higher power perhaps, said get it done. Up until then the company was shadow boxing with a rope-a-dope training partner. Duck, dive, stall all the while extending crews, questioning use of contractual rights, excessing, not hiring, asking to buy back vacation, and AVA. Contract Now explains it all.
