The writing has been on the wall for some time now. I think I can speak for the group and say that not one pilot/flight attendant here at CP were surprised at the announcement....I know I wasn't. Management has been very good at giving us very indirect, beat around the bush answers concerning our futures. We all know there are plenty of NDA's in place to keep us thirsty for the half empty glass of water management is dangling in front of us. Again this is nothing new. Last December in CQ we had a chance to speak with our CEO and the tune hasn't changed, indirect beat around the bush answers.
