Here's a copy of recent email sent to us by a big whig in PHX names excluded.

Nothing really substantive to give you though. No rumors...still doing upgrades and hiring. Moved up 20 seniority numbers in a couple months...

-COMPENSATION CONTINUES TO REMAIN TABLED.
-PERFOMANCE NUMBERS SLIPPING
-EMBRAER RUMOR FADING INTO THE MIST WITH THE GORILLA GLUE SCENT PEOPLE WERE SNIFFING.

Friends/Crewmembers:

Our recruiting efforts this weekend were at the Future Airlines Pilots of America, FAPA, conference in Denver yesterday. ******* and ******* made presentations plus meet and greet at the Denver Airport Marriott Gateway. August 1 and 2 they will be at the OBAT job fair followed by the big Global event in Chicago.

Noting Industry events the ALPA International Air Safety Forum takes place this week July 15-18 at the Washington Hilton in DCA. I believe this is the 59th ASF.

Monday ***** from SOC will be representing us for 2 weeks up at Sabre Airline Solutions running FAR 117 test scenarios to determine crew staffing requirements when the new rule goes into effect Jan 4, 2014. Again staffing build to meet additional needs will be reflected in classes scheduled to kick off October 1.

The additional New Hire and Upgrade classes for July are kicking off on schedule. Out of 19 New Hires expected, 17 showed.

We did Section 6 and System Board work in PHX this past week.

Regards and thanks,
MF (DFO)
