While rumors suggest good things, don't take your eye off the ball. Several sources suggest we are having very good affect on getting attention from the parts of the organization that can make things happen. Stay tuned, but don't pop the sparkly yet.
Today's meeting was well attended too. Guarded optimism from the MEC that things are finally progressing. Hopefully the progress will continue during negotiations starting tomorrow. But there were good words of caution about the need for the pilot group to stay professional and avoid unnecessary conflict. Based on current manning problems, we have very little to gain and a lot to lose by people saying or doing stupid things while negotiations continue. Sometimes the best offense is not being offensive. This is probably one of those times.
