For any Midwest guys, I dont believe I have heard how well your union is communicating with the group regarding the integration. I am curious to know what ALPA has to tell you guys at this point in the dicussions.

I spoke to a furloughed RAH pilot the other day and he knew nothing of this agreed to timetable. Despite his impending recall. He complained about the lack of info from IBT,but I was surprised to find out he was so uninformed.
