The pilot wouldn't be able to start training until summer 2024 anyway. The company's pipeline problem is effectively fixed right away. The implementation date of that provision is not a win. Looks smart to you. Smarter would have been that the positions can't show up in drops until every single one of the improvements that benefits the pilot group is implemented first. Even smarter would have been to have not agreed to this provision in the first place.
