I'm actually willing to bet there's zero progress made. Remember, all articles not agreed upon after the nine months period go to binding arbitration. And we already know they are going to tell the arbitrator it's out of his purview to dictate anything outside of the current contract. So there is zero motivation for them to negotiate. They want current book or concessions. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they renege on any of the other TAs already signed and demand current book on them as well.
