You can’t go into a labor dispute a day after a contract becomes amendable and negotiations open. I don’t think there’s any precedent for that, and I don’t think ALPA would take that stance. You have to at least try to negotiate in good faith, then file for mediation if that doesn’t work, then progress into a labor dispute if that doesn’t work. Full disclosure, I don’t know when we are set to open sec 6 negotiations if this passes, and/or the full term of the TA that is to be seen, but I can’t imagine ALPA wouid just go into labor dispute mode right away. And we won’t have the same leverage then as we do now.
