If it works out it will be great for those who live near Indy. Any bets on how the seniority will go?

Yeah setting the old school speed bugs may be a show stopper.

Don't be distracted by a new domicile - we have unfinished business folks.
Don't bid it - show some resolve.

Sooo.....

End of May, pilots on their own initiative reduce extra flying. Draft calls increase. Skeds scrambles every day to fill trips.

A thread on APC starts, with a lot of useful info. Company gets its collective panties in a wad, threatens lawsuits. Union puts out email, APC thread banished to the nether regions.

Suddenly, miraculously, after years and years of rumors, the IND base will become a reality!!!!!!

But not until after peak....

Yeah, not buying this latest "squirrel" tactic. At this point the company will do ANYTHING to get through peak. Last year they threw down the Doctor's note gauntlet. Now they are dangling a pathetic carrot in front of 60 dudes and hoping that it distracts the rest of us.

Well, I don't live on this forum, so I couldn't say if a thread appeared then vanished, but really?

Does someone at FDX mgmt. have the leverage to call up APC and have a thread removed?

I'm not saying it didn't happen, just can't figure out the logic.

I do agree IND is a squirrel.
