We’ll still be negotiating this time next year, so a loss this year won’t matter!

I agree. I am afraid that the new contract is still years away.

Besides, we don't make the decision to concentrate 98% of our network in the Caribbean. We are Airbus part# 1 and 2. They have to pay market-rate for all their other parts and services.

I agree. I guess we will all have to wait and see. It should be irrelevant.. I think we will still be waiting this time next year tho for a TA. Again, we shall see.

Yup! Frontier just entered into their second year of mediation, and I'm willing to bet we will be doing the same! We still have too many clueless idiots here.

Right. Lol. Zero chance getting released with 2/3 Republican NMB. Besides, Trump won’t allow anyone to take the focus off his twitter feed.

Do you really believe any pilot group is going to be released during an extremely anti-labor NMB? Trump’s additions are very much more anti-labor than what Bush had. Extremely slight chance of a release but I’m sure a PEB will end any strike immediately. Contracts will need to be secured through public pressure, shaming or market forces. Can’t count on the RLA’s normal progression for some time. Any actions like what Spirit did will be levied long periods of being put “on ice.”
