I find everyone's double standards on OTZ's predictions pretty hilarious. Now that Seattle might be in jeopardy, people are suddenly hostile.

You write like you have a drinking problem. I don't blame you though, it must be tough dealing with the fact that you will forever be commuting from the PNW.

SWA got wind ALK was shopping and went over our books and made an offer, a weak offer but an offer none the less. JBLU’s offer to buy NK, required AS to explore a merger, this has went nowhere based on AS being dug in on brand and control. I was told AS was set to make a cash offer for JBLU until their Spirit offer was rejected. I was told PB has become chairman to explore the potential sale of AS. Recently, I have seen some things that made me confident a bigger fish has approached AS. I am reading tea leaves but am confident who the whale is.

I was told by someone else BM wants to go it alone and if we fail that the shareholders are protected by OneWorld and AAL. If we were to fail on our own, we would just fold into AAL. That same person said BM is intent on not giving us contract, ever. He believes he will force his proposal down our throats when the economic tables turn. In the mean time he will use the savings provided by us working under our current contract to establish long term deals with other labor groups. He is also confident we will be parked for 6 MO’s starting in June.🙄

And ah, maybe just go to UAL, I wouldn’t want anyone to go to an airline based on merger speculation. I would not come to AS, I would go to the best company that works best for that individual pilot. Now is the time, you really could go anywhere you want right now, why settle.

It would be fun to watch, but AS management top down thinks there is ZERO chance we will ever be released. They honestly believe it’s laughable, SW is actually laughing at you. They don’t think they have to do much in mediation, just show up and drag it out. No matter how little effort the put in, a release will never happen. Maybe they know something, maybe they paid for something, but they are laughing at the strike vote and expect zero shift in booking from it.

Sounds like the mediator was pretty upset with the company and their lack of preparation and un-willingness to engage on big ticket items. Hence the reason the third day of negotiations was cancelled during the last session.

He (CG) reiterated that we have a LONG way to go before we get released, or if it actually happens at all. We’ve only had what, 3 mediation sessions? It’ll be a while…

Just important to remember it’s a process and we just have to be patient. Let the negotiation committee do their job, stay engaged and stay professional.
