Thought I'd start a thread relating specifically to negotiations. Sounds like some movement at the table this week. Here's today's update from the NC:

This week was a remarkable week. It was highlighted by the celebration of unity and incredible demonstration of resolve that more than 1,000 of our Pilots showed in Dallas on Wednesday. My team and I were sincerely disappointed that we were unable to attend an IP for the first time. We wanted more than anything to be standing with our brothers and sisters on the line, but couldn't this go-round. But believe me when I say that we were there in spirit. And as we watched the coverage in social and traditional media, we couldn't help but be inspired by you, the very Pilots we represent.

Our absence wasn't for nothing. This week in Valencia marked the second week in a row that the Company made moves in our direction. We have made measurable progress toward the goal of achieving a market rate contract for our Pilots. We do not yet have "The Deal," but I am optimistic we will be able to reach it in the near term. While we have agreed to many, but not all concepts, we still have a great deal of work remaining to write and vet sizable sections of language. We must take our time and do it right. Your NC recognizes the importance of strong contract language, especially in Section 1. As we have been reminded frequently, the devil is in the details.

The progress we have achieved so far has been made possible by the unity and resolve you and the rest of our SWAPA Pilots have demonstrated since the beginning of the year. We have been strengthened at our Informational Pickets by the support of fellow employee groups, peers at other airlines, and our families. It is an important lesson for us all. As professional Pilots, we have a shared responsibility to improve our careers and our profession for those who follow us. My team and I are humbled by the trust you have given us. I ask that you continue to have faith as we continue fighting for a worthy contract and give us time to reach a final agreement.
