If the APA were to back off the profit sharing ( I hope they dont) I think we would see JCBA progress very quickly

I've also step climbed quite a bit, too. As we get close to the point, I'll casually mention something like, "Hey, they've got us going to 340 over XXX." We both look at it and see how the rides are. If things are favorable, we go up. Half the time, though, either the rides are crummy higher, the airplane is still too heavy to go up or the Optimum says to stay where we are.

Does anyone understand the reasoning for JCBA extension beyond today. Everyone keeps saying 'waiting until after the FA's approve their TA' but I am trying to understand the leverage and technique behind this.....
I suppose we will find out more later today.

I doubt they'll wait that long (for Delta's contract to be finalized). They are going to wait for the FAs to vote in their contract and use that to show management "see, you gave them a competitive contract, now give us one". Profit sharing would be nice but it seems this management team is dead-set against it. If we could get good work rules and premium over Delta pay, that could offset no profit sharing.
