What say the company on-the-record ???
Yes, DW mentions that this is a done deal every chance he gets.
Why doesn't that give me warm and fuzzies?
Because he is also the guy that said that his retro proposal for the Ropes had no chance of being included in the final language of the age change bill.
I have a feeling that the company has other ideas about what the payrate of the 777 will be, and also that it will cost us dearly to just pen and ink the contract with 777 for 380.
