The IAAC & Codeshare Presentation dated 15Aug13 claimed the company was on a path to be out of compliance with JV EASKs at the end of the measurement period i.e. Mar14. It further pointed out the path to compliance was rather steep.

The Codeshare Committee Presentation dated 18Nov13 states the company is in compliance with Sec. 1.E. and does the most recent presentation to the MEC dated 17Mar14.

LOA 13-03 [primarily addressed Pacific flying] amended Sec 1.E. but didn't seem to specifically make any changes which would affect the noncompliance situation.

What happened?

Don't know which ones, or how many, but we are gonna buy some. Good. Some are gonna be replacements for 747s and 767-ERs. Not so good. However, not liking the word "replacement" as you choose to call a doom and gloom position is myopic on your part. It is a very real English word that has in this case the very real intimation of swapping one airframe for another. I will however, stipulate that the growth part of the equation is open ended. An order of 50 widebodies under the auspices of "growth" would be far more exciting for all pilots at the airline. Replacement airframes are like kissing ones' sister. (or so I'm told). I am glad... really.. that you see the glass having something in it, and in most cases I tend to be way more optimistic. In this case however, I am withholding judgement until I see the order and the subsequent fleet retirement plan. If it is net positive, I'll be excited. If not, I will make sure my sister wears my shade of lipstick.

Thanks, Erik

Very important #1. If you dont do anything at all, your your remaining B fund money goes to an annuity. Per law.

Very Very Very Important #2. You need your Spouse's signature for a transfer to your DPSP, FID IRA or Other IRA. If you dont get your Spouse's signature, all your B fund money goes to an Annuity. A bad, very bad ju ju for most of us. Per Law.

Im anxiously waiting for more DALPA correspondence. On the Fidelity website there are 2 older letters.

After the ME companies tear down the us companies they will not be subject to unionization or RLA for better or worse. In fact they would rule the terms of employment. As you said, if you can be NY based you'd go, well once there and they terms just get crappier what would you do then?
