They upgrades will still happen at the same rate no matter what since demand will not change.
DL’s system is like ours from the discussion I have had with buddies at DL. The company decides the duration of the bid. If they have decided to do a shorter bid period it was the companies decision. Not a contractual requirement.
Our last bid happened a year after the prior one. Even though originally it was stated it would be a 18-20 month bid.
As I stated i’m all for changes but not at the expense of higher priorities such as pay, retirement, deviation bank fixes, scope improvements, revision improvements, etc. I looked again in the openers document on the contract page and don’t see this in the openers. Im guessing in the surveys many didn’t have this as a priority either since it is not in the openers.
