Everyone on the Bus did.
Also don’t forget to mention the ramping down of Airbus LAX.

Nice of them to pretend to care about commuters all of a sudden :rolleyes:.

According to Ladner, there are 30 AAG flights from Midwest to SEA! 😂😂😂 Yeah.... maybe in an entire week span! Since when do they care about commuters?

This is a bandaid put together over the last few months...Contract is about to drag, and we didn’t give them tdy...Max is still dragging. They are hoping all these positions are filled with current bus pilots. I guess we will soon find out.

No ****. The other shoe of this merger will drop with the first TA. No votes. And they know it.

They can hope all they want but I doubt that will happen. With the bus doing more and more of the west coast, nice turns or two day trips out of SEA, I bet it will go senior Boeing drivers bidding over to the new bus base. As you suggest, I also think our negotiations will grind to a halt in the next week or two after the final cards are laid on the table by our negotiating committee. The hourly rate alone will give B&B a cold shiver, not to mention the scope, schedule and retirement proposals. Sooner or LATER, I think they will figure out that we are serious. I think it's going to be a long road boys, but worth it in the end.
