Default How long for a contract?

It’s seems like senior captains in the 8-10 year range and FOs in the 1-2 year range are jumping ship faster than we could recruit them. Just wondering is there light at the end of the tunnel here or are we in full blown Stockholm? No airline got a contract under 3 years with the exception of UPS and their TA extension. Will we be the exception?

With this management group and Indigo, I think we both know the answer. Hope for the best, expect the worse. Like many have said, if you’re on the fence whether or not to join a legacy, waiting to see what our contract will look like, don’t wait, go.

Notable is UPS union is not ALPA, not APA.

Most union guys I talk to are pretty intent on thinking it will be end of winter/early spring.

The company came to the table with stuff in hand. They are losing a lot of employees. Lots of money. Lots of investors starting to question them hard. Metrics are in the toilet.

There is no way we get one that fast. Just no feasible way with these people.

Unfortunately I agree. Just add two years to the estimates

I want to see the pictures of the new strike bus. There was a teaser about a month ago but haven’t seen anything since. Unless it’s in my mailbox with my lanyard

I heard the bus is going to have Wi-Fi so they can still get lightning fast flica alerts for premium.
