I just got back from the MEM "road-show". Jim Graham, and Tim Hennie-Roed came over to brief the pilot group. Good presentation. Tim indicated that this AE is going to generate (best guess) slightly over 800 training events. Just thinking out loud, but, if the aircraft were painted Red-tail color, does anyone think this base would be closing? So, how is this not a result of the merger...OTOH, if the merger hadn't occurred, would any of us have jobs today. I dunno. But, if management would honor the entire "paid move" promises that were in the contract (the ones that expired last October), that would go a long way toward easing the pain of the base closure. Hoping that the company will do the right thing, but I'm "watching their lips"....
