No kidding. There is no way to justify giving up that 7th short call.

Also, via sailing's math, Carl's apparent pay increase from NW was 30,000 more than my gross pay last year. Yeah, that sounds likely.

It's not my math. It's the contract, not hard to read.

Embraer books 'milestone' SkyWest deal worth up to $8.3 billion

Skywest's big order is discouraging, because most likely ALPA has promised management who has promised Skywest who has promised Embraer that they will find a way those can be flown for us. Above and beyond the myriad other 76ers that already are.

"We'll just promise them the time value of beginning the hiring process, or something like that. Don't worry, they are an easily swayed group. What, last time? Oh, they've already forgotten about that."

Additionally, on the rfp, it only seems logical to me that we are talking about 330's to overfly narita into china from SEA.

Welcome back Sailing...

Whatever plane it is, will this "overfly" contain any growth or will it just be shifting around existing capacity?

Maybe, but I think Eagle has a lot more to be worried about by this than we do. The only firm(ish) orders are for I think 40 E175's, the rest are options, and they are openly admitting the options are for future ACMI contracts. DL I think still has some room in the existing numbers to allow some growth in that sector, but their big score will be inking an expanded UAL contract and especially going big into the final feeder frontier before they go IndyAir and implode down the road...large RJ's for AA.

Fella,
Carl has far more credibility and goodwill built up here than you or I can ever hope to achieve.

It's best if you go back to mainlining your ALPA/company kool-aid (same flavor, I know) and enjoy your 7th short call and ALV +15 this summer. Oh, and your reworked summer bid periods (thanks, Scoop).

Maybe you should go back to insisting the company can't require us to disclose our medical records from our personal physicians. But wait! They can.

You do realize that the 7th short call only takes effect when FAR 117 does, which will be long after this summer is over?

Or do you just shoot first, and read the contract later?
