B-717's: How long have we been hearing that the company got them and that the mechanics were going to 717 school? Since last winter at least. But yet, no announcement. Why? Delta will just offer them to the pilots as part of the TA next year.
B-777: [Story still to be written. But, will probably go as FTB suggests.]
Alfa, Bill, and Slow are right. Those guys are smart. Is there a way we could hire RA to represent us and give us legal and strategic advice? That would be a great investment for us as pilots.

Good post-I don't understand how so many people can't put two and two together here.
