ASA has a tentative agreement.
A possible contract between the pilots and the company.

The pilots will be voting on the TA and if it passes, they will have a new agreement, or new contract, for X years.

They've been in talks for several years and it's about time.
Plus it raises the bar for all the other "regional" pilot contracts.
