True or not, good source or bad, it's exactly the kind of rumor the Company would like. The temptation is to "let up" knowing that a TA is just around the corner.



Don't waver. DO NOT BLINK.



When it's here, it's here, and not a nanosecond sooner.




Your actions as an individual MATTER!

I gotta agree, these kind of rumors do not benefit us and can only create disappointment when they are unfulfilled. Likewise the rumors of expected percent of raise. Focus on keeping the pressure on, doing your bit, and supporting the cause.

Yes. From an ACP. But I agree with Tony. 100%, 100% of the time.

Personally, I like the idea as the holidays roll around maybe this won't get settled and we can get some additional "family" time. Nothing like directed activities to sort out the chaff. A few union directed actions would easily let us know who are for the pilots and who are for management. We could stop bickering about who might or might not do this or that. That would solve much of the hen pecking that goes back and forth.

Has ANY rumor about ANYTHING at this company ever come to pass at the rumored time? Especially those "from a good source"?

Take a deep breath. Sit back. Relax.

When it's in my hand, with a ballot attached...

When I parked in the Democrat lot a short while ago, I noticed a couple of the Massah's hired hands walking up and down the rows of cars writing down License Tag numbers - - I assume they were looking for expired registrations and flat tires and such. That's exactly the type of behavior I would expect on the eve of a Company Proffer of a ratifiable TA.

<rolleyes>



Stand by for Jack's "Clean up the Democrat Lot" email in 5, 4, 3,....





FOCUS... focus...

Yeah, don't fall for rumors like these that may get a few knuckleheads to justify picking up extra trips, flying draft, etc. by saying : "Well, guys on the crewbus said they know a ACP and we're close, real close man.....I didn't think it was a big deal to cancel vacation "
