There have been what, maybe 2-3 negotiating sessions with DALPA and mgmt? There is just no way a TA or even an AIP is "close." I think any clarity on whether this gambit is viable is at least 3-4 weeks away. Let's wind the clock and prepare for the eventuality that mgmt will turn this opportunity into sh!t, just like everything else they've touched recently.
Personally, I'm planning on a normal negotiating cycle, and will be shocked if there's a good deal in the next few weeks. Mgmt will find a way to dick it up.
the fact that he doubled down on the quick process and asked for our unity led me to believe there is at least something there. If the company had completely balked at our initial proposal we would have likely heard by now
I believe they have been meeting 3x weekly since the week of the 6th. I could be wrong but I thought that’s what I heard. And since we are only opening up a few sections it’s not like it should take forever if both sides are motivated.
im fully prepared for the long game but interested to see if there is a deal sooner.
