"The Negotiating Committee met with the Company yesterday for most of the day and appears to have made some notable progress. The NC will be presenting to the entirety of the SAPA board next week at the meeting in LAX. The NC believes we are close and hopes to have further updates after the meeting next week."

As nebulous as this is, it's at least vaguely different than the exact same updates we've gotten the last however many weeks. That said, "keep your expectations in the realm of reality" - SAPA.

I'd expect FO pay to at least match Air f'ing Wisconsin's 60/hr starting pay and I will be shocked if it's a dollar more. No idea what captains will get.
