Can any one explain to me what the hold up with the new contract at RAH is? What are they doing about getting it approved or are they even that close? What are the sticking points?
The IBT is too busy doing other things to devote any time to negotiating a contract.
Hard to imagine that the RAH-native pilot group voted overwhelmingly for continued IBT representation with so little progress over a 3-5 year (depending on who you listen to) negotiating timeline.
The short answer to your question is that all the big issues remain unresolved so there's nothing available to be "approved" by the pilot group.
