How do you fence off an airplane that both have ordered but nobody has? Is there a precedent for this? Do we fence the A350 that I'm sure we won't get?

I'm asking these questions just to play a little devil's advocate, not because I'm looking for a serious answer. There is no "us" and "them" to me starting tomorrow. Frankly if the rumors are true that there is a rift in the CAL/UAL MEC's during JCBA negotiations, I'm going to be disappointed. I don't put much stock in any of that stuff, as I had heard "from a reliable source" that the pay issue was already settled. I won't believe anything until I see it on paper.

Anyway, with all the crap that we've put up with for the last decade, I'm ready to start a new chapter. I have no doubt there will be some disappointments for all of us, but overall, I think the future is brighter together than it was for any of us independently. Hopefully we will all be one big family soon.
