Question ALPA and new hires

With negotiations in the third year, any prognostication as to the timing of final negotiations/labor actions?...stupid/unanswerable/inflammatory question, I know.

But how could this impact a training class (Oct or later)? I assume the bulk of instructors are on the seniority list and not management, in which case, training stops during a strike (?)

If training is conducted by some other means (management/contract instructors), how does ALPA interact with and indirectly support a class of new hires (especially if, hypothetically, the union wants training to stop)? Would guidelines be clearly communicated in the lead-up to such action?

Enough question marks?

Cheers(?)

Every pilot instructor is a seniority pilot as well as ALPA member... My money is on you will not "continue training during a strike"

Well, that certainly keeps it simple.
