no JCBA/SLI and Alaska gets to replace the 717/321 with max7/max10 and run costly redundancy with 2 737 programs.
or
Not sure how they grow the Alaska side with 737s under our TPA. Maybe we get as many freighters for every airframe they add.
Still say the MAX deliveries are the biggest pressure point on JCBA on the company. No deliveries then no rush for them.

The TPA does not end in September, it ends after the Operational Merger Date.
Attrition will be the motivator for a JCBA. If we can't hire when we want to, and we can't staff the way we want to because of attrition, that will move the needle for management. Right now, there is little motivation to get it done. TPA is largely irrelevant at this point as it ends in September. We can grow the 737 side as scheduled, just as the 787 deliveries continue. All bets are off come September.

For “no furlough” only. All parts of the TPA otherwise are in full effect until the activation date of first vacation bid post SLI. Important to understand our rights and job securities as it is scope protection from each other and the companies feet to the fire, until we merge.
