That might not have been the intent, but I don't see how you can read it any other way. I am going to get back with Contract Enforcement and/or my block rep about this on Monday.

Anybody else notice that Dec '07 is now a 4 week bid month? Used to be Dec was a 5-weeker. Unless I'm missing something, we're way beyond AVA.
Figure this: if the company adds a leg a day for most/all of us, the manning is flush, there is no need to hire, and DW and his cronies just LOA'd us into the concept of expanding our future int'l flying at a huge discount. And allowed SVT to boot.
Of course, "it'll go too senior for you to worry about it."
Wrong again. The leadership on this whole saga the last 6 months has been embarrassing.
More work at less pay. Maybe we can get a video of the company party celebrating their success this year. No doubt it will be a good one.
