A couple of years?....I doubt that.
Back in late May, when one of CAL's MEC members was asked to take off his "Union Hat", and be 'just a line pilot' regarding when he thought a TA would come about, his answer was in his words "optimistically, December of this year".
Like you, I seriously doubt it will take a couple of years......However, I do think a fully ratified agreement by both MEC's, then the entire 'new pilot group' is aggressive at best by the 4th Q of this year.
Either way,
eye on the prize. During this merger, the ONLY thing that we as a unified pilot group get to
vote on is this JCBA.
