We'd have to win a few law suits too since management is attempting to force us to merge contracts where we wouldn't be allowed to vote on a contract. We'd be forced to Arbitration where the Union and company couldn't agree. Getting released means you end up at impasses and probably no votes on TAs and then you're released. I think maybe 1 airline has been released in the last 10 years... For reference Kalitta went 6 years without a new contract and had voted yes to strike but wasn't released. Putting it simply.... Probably more than 6 years would go by before we'd be released and even then there'd be no guarantee of that. You'd be better off at a different airline by then should you end up at Atlas.
