I'm not sure this is the same as the last two.

It is my understanding that there are many FNWA pilots who are forfeiting pension payments because they are still working. Essentially they are working for healthcare and per-diem. Many of these pilots are closer to retirement today than they were for the previous two. The RMA appears to be designed to help fill the void they may have for their final few years here. I hope and have a gut feeling that many FNWA pilots will take it.

About a year ago, the prevailing sentiment on this and the ALPA board was that the guys with pensions would leave in droves if we only had a medical plan for retirees. Now that DALPA has negotiated one, we'll see if they meant it, or we're just blowing smoke. I want to believe they'll go, but I'm still not expecting much. I hope I'm wrong...

That's what I expect, as well. The FNWA guys are more likely to take it, given the fact that they have a pension. I'm expecting 200 or so mostly north guys to take the deal, and anticipate little or no trickle-down benefit to me.

Same issue on both browsers. When I submit a search for flights, I get this message,

The page at https//connect.delta.com says please enter only a valid airport code.
Have you seen this before?

So, we're saying the RMA is going to crater almost as hard as the TA tanked?

I just tried it on my stock Android browser and it worked fine. I'm running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 on an HTC Incredible. What kind of phone do you have and what's the version of Android you have?
