According to our union, they have been making meaningful progress over the last few sessions and in the small meetings they have outside of the NMB sessions. TAs are TAs. Usually, contracts aren't slowly done over time, but rushed and finished in a month or so.

I wasn't here for our last one, but from what I understand, it was ground to a halt, then barry came to the table and they got it done in like a week or so and had it out to vote on.

Most of the stuff stays the same roughly, just some wording changes. The biggest part is the economics of it which are debated and changed last minute. Personally, anything is better than nothing, we want a contract yesterday and the company wants one never. We will get one sometime in between those.
