Why would we push for a quick contract you ask?
Because if there isn’t one, and a good one at that, you will prob see half of the pilot group turn over as it’s a pilots market anymore... not managements. Look at Atlas. Their turnover is staggering, they have aircraft sitting on the ramp yet still pay for them. How much are they hemorrhaging?
Think K4 wants any part of that?

We don’t do much NRT. At least I haven’t. Mostly NGO.
