Sure, UPS (might) try to open a HKG domicile some day. Or not. I'm just saying my opinion, based on 30 years of flying in asia, is that the Chinese will continue to make life as difficult as possible until they can get more and more of the lift from us. Just look at the explosive growth of Jade and Yangtze River Express. Or how the Chinese passed a law last fall that says that only Chinese carriers can carry express mail inter-china.
My opinion only. YMMV

No date, just the Warn Act letter. We'll find out tonight whats up!!! Our EB cares so much they are Video conferencing.
To me its like telling my wife let me show you my love in Cubic Zirconia. Its close but not the same as coming up here and talking to us.
I finally woke up and figured out I'm a third rate pilot working for a fifth rate outfit. I guess me and Jimmy Stewart aren't that different after all.

As for IPA, name one union who has done more for pilots at risk or on furlough. ALPA, APA, Teamsters? SWAPA will likely never be even remotely challenged, as SWA management views their pilots as assets.

I just get a little short sighted sometimes. I need to take the hearsay and leave it at that. I guess I'll get my questions answered tonight at the meeting.
