I'm cautiously optimistic.
You're more optimistic than I am on contract 2.0 by 2025. I'm thinking contract 1.0 doesn't happen until 2016 at the earliest, more likely 2017. 5 year duration, they MIGHT start early opening in 2021, but drag their feet. 2025 might be the first year of contract 2.0.
Then again I'm jaded as my last airline was in contract negotiations for around 7 years while we were flying on a deal signed in 1999....
Hoping we're closer to your timeline than mine.
