That needs to be updated as of about a week ago. We got an email from John Dietrich claiming that the SOC will be delayed "into 2019". There's speculation among us that this means that they won't be able to merge groups due to a lack of a CBA covering the two pilot groups next year. This makes sense as we're waiting on law suits to clarify whether we're in Section 6 or Merger negotiations. Don't come here expecting a new CBA. Come here financially expecting current book for several years.
