I’ll keep my powder dry till I see it, but I am also deeply suspicious of any TA announced early in the process. It brings back bad memories of Donatelli and his “6 months early and the best contact in the history of the world!! BS”

(For those that weren’t here at the time, in 2015 DALPA and the company signed a TA 6 months early and ALPA sold it like a used car salesman. It ended up getting rejected by the pilot group and we got a better deal a year and a half later).
