What the MEC Chair fails to mention in his email, is that the TA REDUCES the manning required due to the givebacks in AVA, Vacation, LCA lines etc. If we are 700-800 overmanned right now, voting yes will put us in even worse shape! There is NOT going to be a mass exodus of the senior guys if this passes to alleviate the manning situation.

In other news, we have not hit any of the triggers yet and block hours WILL RISE in Oct, Nov, & Dec for peak.

The sell job is in full swing now. It will be constant for the next 7 days.
