Enthusiasm comes and goes, and this is a for profit entity. There wasn’t that much enthusiasm coming out of the pandemic until they announced that we had an AIP. Enthusiasm picked up initially until we saw how bad the deal was, then it tanked. If the next TA meets our demands enthusiasm will go up again. Certification issues with the Max10 could have a major impact on their plans. If we’re going to rapidly expand, they’re going to need a new contract to get people to bid for vacancies and staff the flying. If they slow the expansion their incentive to return to the table diminishes.
