I'm hearing the senior folks saying "I'm waiting on the contract" and the junior/commuters are saying "I'm waiting to see how IE PBS works out". I would not expect significant movement out of the building until after the summer flying season. If we don't have a contract by then the IEs will probably play in the big fall bids setting up next years staffing and then pull the trigger. Nothing happens overnight EXCEPT the flood gates closed when TUMI TA was announced which temporarily solved SKs problem without him spending a dime out of pocket. This is why some form of full retro is important...otherwise he will be getting years and years worth of labor at a discount until a deal is signed.
