For the no voters that haven't figured it out yet, the extension is the leverage. The company has no intention of signing a new deal with pilots for at least 3 years. They are paying for peace and breathing room from the pilots while they deal with all the other issues they have facing them, IT, FA/Mechanic contracts, etc. I tried to point this out a few weeks ago on the other forum but that is crazy talk over there.

We turn this deal down and the leverage is gone. But we will be able to be ****ed off for the next three years, put our hats on and march around and inflate some giant rats.
