Just flew HNL-IAD.. 76-3.
About 50 open seats.

My flight from IAD back to EWR had 3 non revs, one open seat BUT 10 DH'ing FA's plus 3 Pilots.. and me~. lol
All on a crappy E145.

Guess I'm seeing the opposite.
But I agree, the company has no reason to push for a new contract any time soon.
Reading over on the Delta Forum, seems that they feel that they are in the same boat. But they also know that baring any catastrophe within the industry, they are (again) looking at a PS check in 2020 that will help offset any delay. And then there's always the retro/signing bonus when the the contract comes along~

Your view my vary?
