The end of last week turned into "by mid week" this week. It's Thursday and we haven't heard squat. I, for one, am not surprised in the least, and expect to have to litigate the clear language in the LOA to see a cent - which will eventually be bundled into the Section 6 negotiations.
How do you keep a bunch of pilots in suspense? Promise quick upgrades and I'll tell you by mid week.
If 'LOA 67 interim pay' goes to arbitration and we win, would that involve retro-active pay? And with section 6 underway, could it be looked at as a "get" for which we would have to expend negotiating capital to receive?
