Don't hold your breath. There is still a fight ahead of us. Remember the "red letter"

Now, if you arrive at the lot 8 minutes prior to show time and get frustrated that you can't find a spot within 20 yards of the front gate within 30 seconds of arriving in the lot, then I can understand your frustration. What frustrates me is the morons that park just inside the gate that make it impossible for the crew buses to make the turn without stopping and backing up. Maybe if those cars were ticketed and towed I'd better understand the purpose of the parking lot monitors.

If that happens, and if I ever discover that the lot is actually FULL, I'll agree with you. Until then, it just feels like harrassment.

There will be exposure no matter what we do to try to prod negotiations along.

Ok, I see. Now who's going to be the first FO that says "sure, I'll go back to the sim and take a check ride when the Capt has no exposure." Yeah, I can really see that happening. And if you're the Capt who refused the landing and made the guy noncurrent, you don't think you'll have a tap dance to do? I think what we have done so far is working fine.

We will not see a TA until after IPA ratifies their contract. If IPA rejects their TA who knows when. If they drag us to sept. they can get a PEB to get them through peak or the most of it. So the earliest is late sept. IMHO.
