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.
Swapa knows what we want and what is ratifiable. In this market, I seriously doubt they send us a low ball offer. Least I hope they don’t settle…
