any know on average how long it takes to get to the “finish line”? It feels like the gun hasn’t even went off yet with progress over the last 1.5 years but contracts tend to only take a couple real weeks once both parties want to get a deal ironed out.

I think by end of 2026 is becoming more realistic. Lock in rates / contract before early openers at legacy’s the following year and then after.[/QUOTE

I see two possible scenarios:
1. The company offered rates within proximity of our ask but with major hits in every other section. So now the union has to do some real thinking.
2. The company offered concessions in every section, including pay, and they are insisting the survival of the company rests on pilots playing ball. The union now has to do some real thinking and prepare for next steps.

I see scenario 2 as more plausible. But, who knows? Well find out soon enough. ]
