Turns out it’s going to be worse than that. Expectations sure have dropped like a stone in the last 6 months. I once posted I expected about 1 billion a year in contractual improvements. Looks like we will be lucky to get even that and will have lost a entire 3 year contract cycle. What a disaster for the pilot group going forward.
