Default Line in the Sand

United responded to the ALPA's call for a strike vote by stating, "It is not uncommon for aviation labor groups to call for a strike vote months or even years prior to being permitted to exercise self-help under the Railway Labor Act. We do not expect the announcement of this union vote to have an imminent effect on negotiations and we continue to make significant progress in mediated negotiations under the auspices of the National Mediation Board."

Just in case anyone was still wondering what MANAGEMENTS timeline is.... Note the "YEARS" word.
