it seems like if they think they can get you off OE and get a few revenue flights out of you they will not bypass. I’m sure there is lots of things they consider, but I have not seen a bypass with more than 6 months to go in the last several AEs

I wonder if with the new contract provision they are less likely to bypass because they are playing chicken with those fishing for a bypass hoping they back out.
