Sorry to bring this up again, but this contract extension rumor has serious legs. I just had a Capt ask me what I thought of the company's extension offer. When I said I had only heard rumors, he claimed it was discussed by the Lax LEC a few days ago. Anyone know of this being confirmed at a LAX LEC event? He stated the company offered a sizable pay increase but asked for more big rjs. The sad thing was he then tried to convince me it was a good offer! There are guys out there who will sell out the bottom half...beware.

Try to attend the upcoming P.U.B. events in your area. I wish I'd been there for mine. I was flying.

Will US carriers answer the call?
Qatar Airways to Serve Atlanta, Chicago as 787 Deliveries Begin - Bloomberg
Qatar Airways to Serve Atlanta, Chicago as 787 Deliveries Begin
By Frederic Tomesco - Apr 12, 2012 10:37 PM ET
Qatar Airways Ltd. plans to start flights to Atlanta, Chicago, Boston and Detroit within the next year, doubling its U.S. network, as the carrier begins receiving Boeing Co. (BA) 787 Dreamliners.
A daily New York service will also be increased to three flights a day, with the addition of links via cities in Eastern and Western Europe, Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said yesterday in Montreal. The airline has daily flights to Washington and Houston.
“Qatar Airways is in the midst of a very aggressive expansion plan,” Al Baker said. “The only thing that stopped us from going earlier is the delayed delivery of the 787s,” he said about the U.S. flights.
The carrier has placed orders for 60 Dreamliners as it works toward boosting its global network to 170 destinations from 113 over three years. Like Dubai-based Emirates Airline and Etihad Airways PJSC, the carrier is using a Middle East hub to link markets in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
Qatar Air also plans to resume services to Rangoon, Myanmar in October, Al Baker said. The carrier’s order backlog also includes 60 A350s and 10 A380s made by Airbus SAS.
Boeing began delivering 787s last year ending more than three years of delays caused by struggles with new materials and production techniques.
