I guess my point is, if you were calling the shots, would you want a new contract right now or maybe wait a few extra months and get something better?
Given the recent proposals from United and American, I don’t think we can count on them to move the needle in any of our focused areas. Negligible pay increases that don’t pass the inflation test along with virtually no improvements to retirement from either carrier. And given their specific financial situations over the last couple years, I don’t expect them to raise the bar this time around anyway.
