7 CDG FO slots still open, and 30 HKG A300 FO slots.
Contact your sponsors and start the lobbying...because it is very apparent NOT MANY on the property is willing to make the move--even the over 60 guys lusting for window seats.
Now the question is how many poolies will take the bite if offered. My unscientific guess is 40%. I know several at other places, including Airtran, Delta, SWA, and UPS, that probably are going to be content to stay in the holding tank until they have a chance at MEM.
Whale--do you have VISAs for the mainland?

Sounds like cancelling the last bid was a pure and simple quid pro quo. We get the FDA shoved down our throat by threats from our "brothers" in the union [sic], and the senior guys get to fly in our seats (ours because they were awarded to us on the last bid). Someone tell me again, just what are we paying for?

I'm not real happy with out current leadership. But, I have no desire to go back to the old days of ALPA, FPA and the "No" group. Which is exactly where we would wind up. We would spend more time fighting ourselves at the expense of our own contract pay and benefits. The company would love to have that happen again. They would sit back and laugh. And delay for years..
Anyone care to guess how long we went without a pay raise in the 90's while we were fighting amongst ourselves?
