Time is on our side and we've got a decent PWA as it stands. Mandatory retirements will cause a QOL improvement for the vast majority of our pilots; in many cases the improvement will be significant. We need to get the new JVs right and haven't even exchanged openers. I'd be concerned if someone thought we'd have a final deal in 2019, and question the motivations of anyone who badly needed one so quickly.
This is terrible logic. You hope it goes slow? That’s the measure?
Time has nothing to do with it.
A good contract stands on its own, not whether or not we “sufficiently waited” or not.
