Carl,

I agree with your call to open section 6 now to be done by 2012. One item to add is I think we should also suggest that if things aren't done by the ammendable date, we automatically go to mediation (I think AA tried that once, don't know how it went for them).

But, I'm sure the management boys will say they are busy finishing up the merger..........sigh

PS

What do we want from our old contract?

Call in honest
Time and a half over 80 hours
minimum day vs average day
an honest rework of sick leave. I like some aspects of the Delta system but I'm not sure about this rolling system we have now that I'm getting older. I had one stretch of 5 years perfect attendance once, don't think I'll ever make that again
