That's fine, let it drag out as long as it takes. Let the managements continue to waste money on the redundancies that exist till they can get their act together. I'm fine with working under the current XJT CBA till a better deal comes along, and refuse to take ANOTHER concession.

You still haven't answered the question, whey do you think it will go to arbitration? How long have you worked at ASA? Did your current contract come from arbitration? Or was it simply drug out forever till the MEC and management FINALLY agreed on something and it was voted in by the piilot group?

How is ASA's DAL flying different than XJT's CAL flying?
