Management knows that cancellations are killers and have bragged to walk street that delays are no big deal as long we don’t have cancellations. Multi day trips will cause a huge spike in cancellations.

The stuff I’m hearing is that MG and the general are still following Andrew around trying to whisper in his ear that we need to get a new contract soon. Also hearing that exco does not want to talk about money and pay scales until management agrees on arbitration rules. RLA pretty much tells you what the arbitration rules are so I’m not sure what this means, but that’s the snippet I’ve been told from ppl in the union and what Andrew has said in multiple videos. I’ve also heard the exco doesn’t want to pass pay scales until the United TA becomes public so we don’t get leapfrogged again.
I think the thought process is, the next contract isn't any good if there isn't any way to enforce it, because the company will just violate it anyway.

The truth lies somewhere in between - the current contract is garbage, written with horrible ambiguities full of ways for misinterpretation. If this was ALPA, they would just copy+paste boiler plate language from existing contracts with best practices, but instead we are re-inventing the wagon wheel here in 2022.
