(disclaimer) This assessment is not derived from any company or union proprietary information, nor any incidental releases of negotiaing term sheets, interum, intermediate, finalized, or otherwise derived from classified, confidnetial, personal, or other secretive data that is/is not meant for private, public, or union member consumption or consideration.

This assesment derived solely from my voodoo witch doctor and in consultation with Deione Warwick's Psychic Friends Network, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, and other mystics, enchanted persons, and in some cases.........those just in the know.


I predict ALPA will rush us, with a heavy dose of full court press communications from National and our EF&A advisors. Our local union reps will merely repeat what National is saying. They will sell us a contract that pays less than Delta and they will tell us this is the best that they can do. The wardrobe malfunction (inadvertent release of data) merely solidified what I already knew was going on behind the scenes.

Now in union communications I no longer read the words "agreement in principle." In the last two communications the agreement was referred to a "TA." This in my mind means our union has bought off on it............ Read your emails again.......and you will notice the subtle change in adjectives.
