My bet is that it's going to take longer than that to reach 6,500 cards, and as such, the vote will not take place until after the new contract is signed. It will be nice to have a new union in place then. A union that will actually defend the contract.

The 2018 time frame will depend on the company, the NMB, and DALPA. But it is an excellent plan to have a new union by then to defend the new contract. I'll be 60 in 2016 so I probably won't see very much of the new contract.
