We haven’t quite dodged a bullet, but it hasn’t hit vital organs.
Agreed, Except if this “offer” / “deal” is voted down. It’s then back to re-negotiating under the cloud of the current Coronavirus crisis. And this clearly has a long way to go before it’s resolved. Pretty sure I can guess the new line the company will then be pushing.
Rumour is more aircraft about to be parked and routes cancelled. Tough times.
