321 rates are in a LOA. Not impressive.

We're in mediation with the NMB. Management is playing straight out of the 1990s Management playbook which is try to drag things out as much as possible when times are good, hoping things will take a downturn. This could be done in four months, it could go another year and a half.

So far, the pilot group is holding strong. The days of the airline getting pilots at a 20% to 30% discount while they pay market rates for everything else, coming to an end. We fly the same fleet type to the same type of destinations that Delta does. It's time for a true industry contract.

IMHO, the longer management drags things out, the more our price is going to go up with all of the other carriers signing good contracts.
