Is anybody having a problem opening the bid package in EasyBid? It loads. When I open it I get an error message "illegal rotation". Then I have to shut down the computer.

+1. Fear is a bad thing to have run your life decisions. A little risk, sometimes, will pay off handsomely. We just sit here as a group and allow our flying to be handed off to the likes of AK, HA, Skyteam etc.

Do I think we should have sent the TA back to the company as 'undercooked'? Yes, I do, and I voted accordingly. But we have the agreement now and we'll all have to live with the ramifications of that. Would the alternative have been better? We'll never know, and I don't claim to have that answer either.

The decision has been made to keep the DC-9's another year. This was fought tooth and nail by flight operations but marketing wanted them and won the battle. They expected to hire if this happened however they are getting a very high number of pilots returning from leaves so they think they can cover the flying. There is a class of 15 returnees that just started and as many as 150 will be coming back over the next 9 months. Most are military leaves. A big group is finishing their 20 years.

Does this mean the block hour plan is out soon as well. I'm sure we'll be doing at least as good as AK
