Hey if You can’t read and answer a question without adding your dislike and negative comments for the new contract, you can stop posting. It saves people a lot of time actually answering them correctly and without your crap attitude.

The question was how long the current contract will be in effect for. The correct answer is until a new agreement is ratified to replace it. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Sec 31 - Duration
Q: Why did we agree to a five-year term and when does our five-year term begin?
A: If ratified, the contract amendable date will be January 16, 2024 with an option for ALPA to open six months early on July 1, 2023. As depicted by one of the slides posted on the website, most other airlines will likely become amendable just ahead of us, and our goal is to take advantage of a favorable industry pattern, just as we did in this round of bargaining. In addition, by agreeing to a 5 year term, we were able to achieve 3% increases in the last 2 years of our Agreement, and we were also able to achieve an “extra” across the board increase, raising our total wages to a higher level when we next enter bargaining. Last but not least, with the implementation of PBS, which will require a significant amount of bargaining, our intent is to negotiate additional improvements over the terms of the contract, as has been the case at many other successful ALPA carriers. Negotiations that occur outside of Section 6 are positive for the pilots because favorable changes can occur sooner, and there is less to address when we actually open our negotiations under Section 6.

Also, that's a very optimistic view of our PBS negotiations (arbitrations).

ZED travel restrictions come from the other airlines allowing you ZED travel, so those restrictions are common as well.
Is there any airline that gives buddy passes that can be used for another airline or ZED travel? Sorry not trying to sound rude, it's a real question, I'd be shocked if there was but that would be a cool perk.

We had UAL until 2015 ish I believe? Could be misremembering. They seem to be stingy with agreements and if there is not an even mutual reciprocity they will drop agreements.

Was there anything in the TA Q and A section that gave pointers on how to get open time request approved. I notice I am constantly denied and the same pilots always seem to squeeze in a split second before I do. Is there some inside info that only an elect few know about?
