Ok let me ask it another way, if a new agreement is never completed and the current one continues for another 5 to 10 years what does the Company have to lose and additionally what do you have to lose?
Institutional investors, section 6 is a real process, they can't just write it off since they're managing large funds of other people's money. They'll eventually look to invest in a company that doesn't have labor "problems".
IMO early negotiations are a total waste of time and create pilot fatigue and help the company.
The pilots expect progress prematurely, and the company is allowed to yak about scope and set expectations for a whole year.
