I don't think any "timelines" exists. In the past, it takes time for management and the negotiating committee to come to terms on principle. Then the MEC has to approve it. Then it gets lawyered up with contract language put on paper. Then the MEC approves the final wording. Then it goes to ratification to the pilots while road shows are conducted at all the pilot bases by the MEC to help educate the pilots on the LOA.
Its usually not a very quick process.
