Someone here gets it. Unfortunately, some there still cannot see past their noses or see artfully crafted announcements as what they are that just happen to serve the latest timeline to quiet the gripes.

Multiple new grievances were just filed and the beat goes on and thus it certainly seems the contract remains an "optional" document rejectable on the whims of management. The most recent "announcements" are simply nothing new. I see no revised upgrade projections beyond 205 for 2016 (if you could believe it anyway) and the flow will be lucky to make anywhere near 300 (375 is a joke) based on the Letter T situation. The schedules have no mechanism to make them better and it sure sounds like there's no interest anyway. The announcement of keeping some CRJ's around a little longer isn't likely to improve schedules on the EMB or CRJ which already have such a staffing overage, it's stunning. Of course, once they go, what will be the excuse and claim to support the schedules then ?

I'm sure a new song and dance will be developed to draw the pie-eyed, longing stares of some, but others won't be fooled. Remember, the Summer schedule is approaching (are vacations being cancelled yet ?) and gotta keep the promises coming !

Good Luck, but I've seen this all before.
