I'm wondering on when we will make any real progress with mediation taking place, I'm still under the impression we won't see anything voted on tuntil end of 25/early 26 at the earliest... The only way I see it happen earlier is if boeing gets their act toghether and starts delivering on the max 7/10 in the next year or two, which is highly unlikely...

They have absolutely no reason to give us a contract this time around. Brad has said our pipeline program has 800 pilot in it.

Love how people use this as an excuse because they still can’t figure out how to pick one up. Then they cry woe is me and blame bots.

Just keep in mind every time you cover a flight or pick up a premium on your days off you are giving management a reason to displace another pilot to SJU, CLE, or CVG.
trips. Multi day trips from LAS and 3 layovers in ATL or DEN doing turns. 🤷♂️
