I've learned not to divulge sources. I did give you the initials of the one who told us this was going to happen. He has since been silenced.

Again, management's interest may have waned since they have decided not to furlough this fall. The question will come up again. I want our MEC prepared with the correct answer next time.

We have squandered so many opportunities:
(1) JPWA - when management had mergers on their mind, we dod not even ask the question
(2) Scope grievance settlement
(3) Management's conundrum over the nonsensical flow
Upcoming opportunities
(4) Next scope negotiation - IE management wanted the JV, what's 300 pilots compared to the revenue with AF/KLM? Toss it on the table.
(5) Furloughs & Flow execution
(6) Next corporate merger transaction
(7) Section 6
(*) Who knows - there are more twists to this profession than a Andrei Bitov novel.
