I don't remember how many days it is, but I think it is more than 3. The first upgrade is scheduled for the 11th. It is the 9th already. But would you refuse to show up for your upgrade because of that?

Does it make our management look like idiots? Sure. But if you think this place is attracting high quality management types, than you are wrong. This is still a little place, with little compensation for management as well. All we have is big hopes and some solid results for the past few years. This could change overnight if AA decides to take a giant sh..t on us.
I agree with you, Normann. I have big hopes too. Excited about working here and doing my best to contribute to us making money. But let's not give our management a pass on following the contract, or treating us with respect, just so they can pad the profits a little more.
Seems like most of the whining and complaining here lately are coming from them, because they are loosing all the arbitrations and are prospectively being barred from bypassing the seniority list.
