Yep. That’s what happened in 2016. Delta and ALPA were “too far apart” to get a TA. We get one and magically they get one right before our vote. UAL “me too’d” it leaving AA in the dust until Doug decided it wasn’t worth the fight and brought them up to the other 2.
I don’t care if we’re first as long as there’s a provision to make us equal to NB rates of the big 3 when they sign.
