With the new RLA rules, and all the disruptions in ATL from the time moving around, I'm willing to bet AFA has more than a 50/50 shot. The way I heard it, the ATL FAs were REALLY upset when the 747 started flying ATL-HNL.

Nu, the 40-50 FA's that did that every week were just lost, they did not know what to bid. They did not know how to do any other service except that flight. It was funny/sad when you flew with one of them. They were totally lost.

I think it is best we stay out of their union drive. They will do what is best for them. I do not care what they do or do not do. I do not care what they cost, that is between them and the company.

The whole point of the FA me too, was to explain the extreme resistance to a new commuter policy. It is just what the company has stated to us. Furthermore, it is the truth. What we take years and negotiation capital working on, they will get just because a few months later.
