We shall see. If I was an investor, I would want to hear that also. Considering they are offering new hire bonuses, I am sure they need a new contract quickly to keep people around and gather more. Not sure how much a new contract would even affect the CASM, if it does, it would be very little.
edit- Barry also just said "Frontier continues to be an attractive place for pilots" It is all what they want to hear while giving money to a company. You don't want to tell them to their faces that we are losing a lot of pilots and having to hire low time pilots out of flight school compared to other carriers hiring ones mainly with 2k+ hours.
