I hope I'm wrong, but this could drag out a long time.

Strike votes are largely symbolic. That could happen at any time really. Actually striking, though, would take an extremely long time due to all the provisions in the RLA. That being said, I think we'd all prefer not to go down that path until we absolutely had to.

My original bet for a contract was 2018, might have to move up my guess at this rate.

Reason I asked about the checks: got one back and switches were all over the place. FO life jacket in wrong place. Weird foreign labeled water bottles onboard. I can't speak about specifics but some things were missed in the back that were no go. Found by new crew. Return flight cancelled. Very big deal. FAA involvement. We need to know when these things come out of major mx and to alert inflight as well.

Always have to preflight any mx bird with a fine tooth comb. I haven't to do at JB yet but at other places found interesting and missing items. Even got one bird back with the same deferred items on that it went into mx with.
