The only gripe I have heard is that it doesnt look like retro pay will be in full (saw that coming!) but for me its not a huge thing- but for CA's who have been here since the contract became amendable it is a big deal. I also was hearing that we are getting the 15 -900's out of SLC for delta but that wont be announced until comair is all shaked out and we have a SIGNED contract. I love the rumors but realistically a contract would be great to see. We have enough attrition and a shortage that the 15 and a new hub on the other side of the country wouldn't be big deal right now (to me at least). I do haveta say that it seems that the people who have been here a while have been burned by mgmt to the point where they are playing these talks very "hardnosed" which helps everyone on the flying side. I dont regret my decision to come here. Pretty much every CA and FA I have flown with has been really nice and professional and it makes a 4-day a pleasure even when by day 4 all you want is sleep and a real meal. That is the blog of the week for me... Its all good this week....
