With only 210 takers of the VSL so far, what will they shoot for WRT numbers?

Company wanted something in return for them to lower the age, ALPA said they did not see any value in giving up something yet which was a wise move. As of last Friday we had 242 takers, I expect the numbers to be closer to 500 this Upcoming Friday. I’m pretty sure the company and the union are waiting to see if we’ll get additional money from the Cares Act 2 which could be a game changer for every Airlines, because there won’t be a need to entertain lowering the LPA just yet and give the market a bit more time to recover.
My 2 cents.
