This has been ongoing since the spring. YES there is a work slowdown to delay jets going on. It's all based on the maintenance contract. I've been impacted a ton by it. Usually, they have at least been nice enough to delay flights where I'm headed to my final destination and not flights where I'm connecting onward. My guess is that's intentional (they aren't slowing down hub to hub or spoke to hub flights).

Does anyone know if there is a contract being re-negotiated?
