Yes, it's a tenative LOA that requires a final vote. The language does exist, but isn't a done deal yet and plenty of time for delay or alteration (don't forget who is sitting down to discuss and vote on it). Then, once implimented, who knows if it will live up to what they are trumpeting it as. My point was just that this MEC is handing out candy to the kids (again) with the expectation they'll be too distracted liking their all-day suckers to push a mass recall through before the 'opportune moment' (Captain Jack Sparrow).

DR especially is in damage control mode to save his cushy lifestyle. Eagle management needs these guys too as no one (not even the old Texas Mafia) showered them with gifts like these idiots. IMO, these latest "announcements" are a team effort with a specific purpose. They're also blatently violating the reserve turn back rules in the new contract under the subterfuge of a disagreement of interpretation (company inserting preferred intent where it doesn't contractually exist) and the MEC has instructed the kids to fly and grieve (the legal requirement) so things will stay stable and the companies desires will be met. But, we all know how that works out and especially at Eagle, those affected can expect squat in return at the grievance hearing in 18 months........that's if the MEC doesn't agree to trade that for something else before then (something they most likely already contractually have anyway). It's the same old song from the same old band playing again there and it appears that many will once again get up to shake their booty's and gig in denial it's the same song as before. This party goes on in perpituity as long as these pilots refuse to accept this from their leadership and so far, no one has really put their foot down yet. By the time that happens it will have been way too late anyway.

Saw this coming years ago and that's why the flow to AA was a no-brainer. It's almost getting too painful to watch and hear and the info I get almost daily makes me wince more with every revelation. The situation there for the pilots reminds me of a mix of the hysterical insanity of Afghanistan and the cloistered domination of North Korea (complete with meglomaniacal dictator). But, the dance goes on and once an "open" PBS scheduling plan is in place, it's Mesa time in both pay and scheduling quality. I don't care how shiny that CRJ-900 or even E-175 is, that world just ain't worth it.......to me anyway.
