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.
I just can't imagine the company agreeing to enough improvements that we are seeking in a short timeframe. I dunno, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. I also wonder if DALPA is trying to play this based on the timing of UA and AA's section 6. Maybe they're trying to get way from being in the cycle of always going first and doing the heavy lifting. Maybe they're counting on setting a quick bar on rates and having snap ups if/when AA/UA jump us in a year or two.
