Contract 2025?
The EB has succeeded in convincing management to start contract negotiations earlier than planned by roughly 4 months. That’s good news. We shall see what the overall negotiating environment will be next summer. Hopefully, volume will be growing steadily and the company will care how applicants perceive us and how motivated a work force we are.

Absolutely no threat of a strike in this situation. The two scenarios are in no way alike. This will be a very long drawn out process that will be as ugly as it’s always been. The company has zero incentive to do anything less.
Getting hopes just ensures a let down. Need to manage expectations.

That may be your opinion, but not that of a majority of pilots here. Have you been paying any attention of what’s going on with the economy and world? I mean WOW.

Absolutely ridiculous post. We have the best union in the industry. Bar none. You’re listening to the wrong crowd if you believe a single bit of that

With the needed scheduling and pairing construction changes that have not been attained in the past, plus the industry leading pay scales and article, catering, software implementation, retirement, travel, etc.
I believe this is the longest contract negotiations in the history of the IPA, I am not realistically expecting a contract until 2027/28. Unless there’s another “they got us on that one” contract by 2026.
I would add just the contract dates to show 27/28/forever instead of 24/25.
