Like I've said several times recently I have a terrible track record on guessing ALPA politics correctly, but I'll take the over on that bet and say UAL pilots will have an agreed to TA by Spring '23. Since the Tumi TA came out I have yet to fly with one pilot that echoes the high expectations I see online. I've even flown with several guys that admitted they were yes at first and only later changed to no when it was clear a resounding "NO" was called for. Not gonna cry a river if it does in fact drag on, but as of now my guess is our CEO would prefer that it NOT drag out, and truthfully he holds all the cards at the moment and seems to be running circles around U-ALPA. We shall see . . .
