Very rarely do airlines complete a new contract in a timely manner, not just GJ. But the 2007 GJ Contract ended in 2012 and was not renewed for 4 years, 2016. Why not just use the bonuses for as long as they can?
they have a baseball arbitration clause, when it goes to arbitration that’s it it’s done...
