But, I think the exact language was "filthy" overstuffed pillows and thick "warn" blankets.

Not, "fluffy overstuffed pillows and thick, warm blankets".

I think most guys won't read the side letter or the LOA because they won't be affected by it.

CDG/HKG on bid?

I'm sure it's pretty obvious to most of you guys... but, will THIS bid include:
757CDG and MD11HKG.

In theory, if not all CDG/HKG seats are taken (specially the right seats in CDG), they will need either new-hires of STV's until pilots bid in, correct?

Thanks for the info.

This is the funniest d*mn thread I have ever read on this board.

It's also one of the saddest since all the sarcasm and joking stems from real actions taken by our union... very sad indeed.

The REBA LOA is where we need to be concentrating!!

This is madness.

It's a play on the acronym VEBA. A is association. Sheesh, nevermind.

While the company has stated that they prefer Fedex MEC pilots do the reclining; recliner A could result (not right away) in non fedex mec pilots reclining in our sleep areas. So to avoid chinese or russky snoring in the middle of a hub turn make sure you cast your vote for recliner b.

BTW no bid until you approve recliner B.

Actually, it isn't recliner B that will improve our scope clause. It's the individual letter you must sign that states your time spent in recliner B will be covered by the provisions of the CBA and RLA. I'm aware that nothing in the description of recliner B mentions scope, but trust me when I say that the individual letter you sign with recliner B is AN "INCREMENTAL" IMPROVEMENT TO OUR SCOPE CLAUSE. That's all you need to know.

I tried sitting in both and I just couldn't get comfortable unless I was sitting sideways, which is nice since I should be sitting that way for a while. Vote NO!
