I remember a conference call where a question was asked to JD about negotiations with pilot group about the contract early in 2024 and he said something to the effect, they haven't even budgeted for a pilot contract until 2025. So we'll see what this next year brings.
I also recall Barry only budgeting 1/4 of a CASM point. A bit low IMO. Time will tell.
