Some guys wanted to bypass until they could hold a line.
Nothing is ever simple, I guess. Good news is there will be PHX upgrades, about 30 to 35.

I will believe that when I see it.
Just like everything else in this business.
No way to predict anything more than 8 hours into the future.

Just flew a trip with an AWA furlough working on the East side. They are not happy about being recalled to go on the bottom of the West list back in PHX. Holding a good schedule on the East. Politics of company and seniority dispute causing hardship for a fellow pilot.
