That is all.

We have all the leverage we need to get the "historic" PWA promised in True Headings 14-2 by the MEC.
Will we use it?

When the movie was over you could have heard a pin drop in a full theatre.

Public Service Announcement
All of this strike talk got me thinking. Everyone should always be prepared for a strike or any other unexpected event. Each and every one of us should have accessible funds set aside equal to at least 6 months living expenses. If you don't, then start saving now. God forbid if in the future another 9-11 or strike should rear its ugly head, it's too late to start saving. Much easier to save when times are good. Personally, having been furloughed twice, my fund has considerably more thatn 6 months worth in it. YMMV. This has been a public service announcement.

Is there any logic in why a trip would show up as Q in open time while at the same time it isn't on the swap board as a P/U?
