That's what we thought, but the Teamsters dropped the ball and it looks as if the TA may not pass.
When the strike was called off on Feb 5, there was an agreement in place that outlined how the new scope was to be written. The union negoating committee went home and the lawers from the teamsters and the company wrote the section in the contract. It seems that a major portion dealing with "like aircraft' was omitted. The teamster business agent signed off on the deal. When it was brought out, the negoating committee refused to endorse the TA. The business agent has sent it out for a vote anyway.
The vote will be counted in late March.
