Deliveries affect how fast their plan can be realized. They definitely need a contract in place to grow at a rapid pace, but if things slow down their need to return to the table is reduced. Classes are still full, our pay is still in line with American and Delta, and we’ve yet to see if we get new crew bases and how that affects vacancies once the flying is spread out more. Until a competitor jumps ahead of us, they aren’t in as big of a hurry as we would like. We’re asking for a lot in this contract, and rightfully so. They’re not going to sign off on a huge increase in labor cost until it is either to their advantage to do so, or when they are left with no choice.
