The "even more" division within the pilot group just hit the peak but it will get worse before it gets better. Let's see how you feel in 4 months when we don't even have dates to negotiate and the NMB gives us the same treatment they recently gave SWA and ATI - no. One word answer - there is ZERO requirement anywhere that we must get released. It has to happen one day - but maybe that day is in 10 years from now and it's up to us to see if we can last that long or get something sooner. Dumbest move ever and you morons helped it happen.

I'll be surprised if you have a deal before the end of 2025, and if you do, I predict it will be more on the company's terms than on yours.
