Hey I'm still trying to figure out why the new union head negotiator got wide body pass over pay for a year and then got into an upgrade class without a bid. It was magic or something. Union didn't give him the passover pay the company did. Wonder what the company is trying to do? I'm sure anyone would have gotten the same deal. 
Hey ... the head FPA negotiator has been promoted to VP of flight Operations! I thought that was just one of the benefits of the job? (NO SMILEY FACE)

If the guys bidding the FDA's didn't know it was a 5 year sentence, you can't say we didn't warn them. That error is on them.

The fun has just started. Notice how the DC10 excess bid is going to come after the vacancy bid, instead of the other way around.
I wonder if the DC10 excess bid will be followed by an excess bid for MEM wide CAs and FOs

Well, he could have gone to class in seniority but he was doing some work for the COMPANY (negoiating hotel contracts or something) so the COMPANY let him skip his original class date for a year and paid him passover pay then let him in class at his or their discretion. Who knows? Like I said I'm sure it was on the up and up. I'm sure he is not beholding to the compnay at all.

No, I am a member, albeit a somewhat disgruntled one. I will continue paying my 2% because the answer isn't to quit, but rather to get involved. Maybe when I get really disgruntled I'll get involved.
You'll fit in really well here.

Here's a question... How many of the over 60 S/Os are approaching 63?
