Interesting... Not sure if something changed, or if I got an oversimplified answer from the rep (which is ATL, which theoretically wouldn't have any travel days).

If you are right, then I would expect some comm to come out tomorrow, perhaps. 🤷‍♂️

FWIW, my rep definitely said "13-15 May" by email 1 week ago - but perhaps that was oversimplified and/or lost in translation?

Also, I did see on FB someone ranting about "only 1 day!".

Regardless, a 1 day special meeting doesn't seem like they expect to have that much to get briefed or discuss... Not holding my breath.

I heard a rumor that the Gummster told ALPA that he doesn't need their help to put out his fire.

He doesn't but it would be faster if they did help. All he has to do is reverse every bad management decision he has made since touching Flight Ops. It should be doable within 18 months.

I'm sure he believes that. But if EB and rest of them believe that they need to get their heads examined.

Who says RG is running the show? He may have his marching orders to make a deal despite his objections.

i doubt RG is getting specific orders on what deal to make from above. He is likely given a budget and goals. If he can’t make those there will not be a quick deal (just like if ALPA cannot get their goals)

they have their scapegoat. They can blame every self induced operations failure on gas and will not get pushback, they are already reducing the schedule which gives him breathing room.

The only way a quick deal works is if both sides can see a win-win. The idea of a win-win is not of interest to people who think that the other side winning automatically means you lost.
