No, I'm flying the atlantic right now. I wish I could say but I will say this, that the news is good. It is not a rumor and it will help our cause in needing more pilots on the property.

Guessing it has to do with 10 of something from someplace.

I'll believe it when they are painted with widgets on the tail and at E concourse.

no and that I have no idea. Something more significant. Is ACL flying right now? I'm sure he'll tell all when he gets back on the forum

E Concourse is where they park the big international heavy metal.

Don't tease! I don't think I can take it.


I sure hope you're right Opus, we could all use some good news.

THAT is why the political parties of today are so polarized left--- right.
I know contracts are complicated animals but I also believe that scope is one of those issues that if it is loosened, I would vote no. I don't care how big the pay raise because as it has been proven, pay can be lost once received. You may not like the idea of giving airplanes away but you are also saying that it is ok as long as other things in the contract make up for it. (pay/work rules) There are plenty of things that I don't like in contract but will accept it if other things are better. I don't know of anything that can't be taken back on the next contract if it turned out to be a mistake to change it, except scope.

Does this have anything to do with the rumor regarding another airline not being able to meet finance obligations on the 15th (rumor I heard more than once on my last trip)?

If so, I will not hold my breath.
