TA 2.0 is finished following a meeting between the SAPA NC and management in SGU earlier this week.
On the weekly SAPA conference call it was shared that the revised TA is being presented to all of SAPA tonight and if approved it will be made available to the pilot group on Monday.
“Maybe earlier than Monday. I mean gosh we’re going to be working all weekend on the presentation. So if we can get it done sooner we’ll share it sooner. But Monday is sort of a goal for me. Maybe late Monday night. You know. We’ll be working on the PowerPoint all weekend and we don’t want to half ass it. So Monday is a personal goal for me. Also I have to go to DC next week for a safety conference and I want to be able to hold my head high around our peers,” said SAPA President AA.
No details of the TA were shared but AA added, “We’ve worked on the main points that the group came back with. But you need to keep it in the realm…er…you know we’re not going to get 5 or 6 hour MDG. That’s just not market.”
The conference call was ended after taking one question from the participants, which asked if a summary of the changes to the TA could be shared sooner than 5 days after approval. This suggestion was summarily rejected.
