I don't believe sunny is taking people without an ATP, we don't have the appropriate ground (written) training in place, not sure if we will get it.
With the "flow" programs with colleges, we may have to.
Our contract reaches its end Nov 2020, negotiations may start 6 months before then... or sooner if the company thinks they need to for bases, pay etc.
With a net "gain" of -1 airplanes from now through 2019, i doubt there will be any need for early negotiations. Upgrades are on hold until at least July 2019. Hiring for attrition only, we are the pipeline to SW.
