Question Soooo....Is the bid being delayed or not?

Soooo...Is the bid being delayed or not?

Does anyone have any "inside intel" from contacts in the Union or the company regarding the status of the bid?

Did the union actually take any formal action to request delay?

Given we're down to less then 24 hrs until COB on 19 Nov, I would expect something to be announced soon...if any changes are actually in the works.

A'o Aloha

Yes, it will be delayed Monday.

If anyone else has any questions pertaining to the meaning of life, the wonders or mysteries of the world, or the numbers to the next NY lottery, ask away!

I think it will all come down to how many F/O's bid the thing. Personally,I think it will be delayed, and we'll be voting on a new FDA that allows each side to save face. I could be wrong, I voted for Nader the last time around
Mahalo!

Why cancel the bid? Why would the company be in a hurry to make a bet at a poker table if the other guy (us) is willing to show them our hand and then let them bet? I am guessing the LOA may be tweeked after the bid comes out or the LOA side letter is signed, but the bid will go on!!!


If I were the company, that is what I would do.... just a guess though

If it's "tweeked", we need to VOTE on it! The days of the FCH are long gone.
