not trying to get hopes up, just sharing what i am hearing (Marg i will be sorely disappointed if you don't chime in and accuse me of being a management tool, who is guilty of ruining pilots' lives by stringing them along).

scheduling/work rules were not talked about at all this week. imo that means there is still a grand canyon separating management and the union on scheduling, work rules, etc.

Apparently management told the union that they want to make another offer on all the scheduling sections the first week of january.
