I had a nice 3 hour leg to digest the NOTES on the TA. Obviously, no actual contract is available to read.
I don't see a slam dunk for ALPA on this one. I didn't read through and go, "WOW !" It was kinda sad to actually put in writing about loosing planes.
We've read on this very forum from those who proclaimed, "ASA will never get a contract until the SKW vote it over", and obviously they were wrong.
I think this became an opportunity for JA. He didn't have to give away the company store so that ALPA could yell VICTORY to voting SkyWest pilots.
