I wasn’t being too serious! Personally I don’t see the NDA w/r to the LOA being lifted until just before the system bid comes out the first week of August.

I could very well be wrong .... it could be just predicated on mgt wrapping up negotiations with the FAs. But IF the LOA alters the CBA Filling of Vacancies/Displacement language (which the MEC Chair seemed to harp on for half of that video message) we will need to see the language before the publication of the system bid. IF it’s just concerning credit caps and ALV relief then my guess is flat out wrong! IF something crazy has developed where we somehow take someone’s deferred CS300 slots accelerating our deliveries and trashing the 190s quicker, again that will have to be displayed in the system bid because those seats will be anticipated staffing within the next 12 months. Either way, no sense in dedicating too much thought to it, we will know when we know. I’m just spitballing, and before someone counters my logic here I’ll just concede to their point, cause it’s all just a guess on my part.

You are right about all that but as I have said before, based on the state of the industry, there is no reason to keep us all on until May 31st unless there is a planned need for us or contractual reason they have to keep us. Nobody is going to convince me that training float is enough reason to spend $100,000,000 a year on pilots you don't need. (500 pilots X $200,000)(total wag)

You are correct, all guessing at this point.
