No Contract 97 was the predecessor to Contract 02 ratified and signed in the spring of 05. Contract 02 was initially going to be a industry leading contract (prior to 9/11 but turned into a concessionary contract in the fall of 04) We are currently negotiating Contract 08 that hopefully bring us the fair and equitable pay, benefits and working conditions we justly deserve.

As an aside note we will need to negotiate somewhere between 30% and 40% pay raises from Contract 02 rates just to catch up to Contract 97 rates adjusted for inflation.
