Very good news! Better than I anticipated.

Stay frosty!! This definitely helps our cause. But we are still far from a release both in terms of our number of days in mediation and in being close to an impasse (sections are still being AIP'd).

I'm expecting a Delta/Alaska-esque offer from the company in response to the SAV within the next few months that will have enough curb appeal - but still fall very short of what we're capable of achieving - that it may be forwarded by the BOD to the membership as a TA. If that happens, it will more than likely become our new contract.

IMO, if we do vote it down, much better will be available to us as we continue moving toward a release from mediation.

Achieving a truly industry-leading, "generational" contract under the RLA requires patience and the ability to delay gratification - something pilots historically have not displayed much aptitude for.
