Fellas, take a look at the route maps in the back of Sky magazine. Besides all the added blue "future routes" into SEA, they changed the Alaska color from bright, cheerful green to a brownish, depressing, "we're not getting along" green. I love it! Hopefully a sign of more color changes to come.

OK, which acronym should we forget first? I hate "SDP". CDO is right out.

Illegals works. So does "the heinous trips that shall never, ever be mentioned again"...

CDO is one of the worst acronyms ever. "Collateralized Debt Obligations" Lead directly to the financial meltdown in 2008.

Shiz is a pilot here. On a few things we have differing views but on what matters most, Auburn football, we are on the same page. He is a hard worker and done more for pilots then I have BUT i have posted more pictures and gifs then he has. So I am content with that.

I'll bet Carl and I could pound down some gyoza.. and agree on that for sure. :) I'm thinking spiral staircase for $20 Alex?

Whoa... Back it up.. Wasn't CE saying that it was $40 million BEFORE the amendment? That means we would have been paying for the privilege of flying those God awful things???

Baja.

At every line check meeting for the last 2 years, all rumors of HAL have been cut short before they get any life into a discussion. They bring nothing to the table except HND which we can get otherwise. (and a few 717s)

It means that CDOs were about a 2 million dollar gain for us (due to the premium aspect and high credit), but costed around 30 jobs.

As I said, most of the morning was in closed session where they apparently directed the NC to re engage the company. To my knowledge there is no record of who actually "sent it back."

I'll echo Check in that I was very impressed with the level of preparation and diligence displayed by the reps. They asked great questions of the NC and were skeptical/critical of each section of the TA line-by-line.

To the few that are suggesting we should be concerned about C2015 as a result of this TA/meeting I would say it is the exact opposite. As a regular line guy I was very pleased to see the high level of efficiency/effectiveness on display at the meeting. To say I was surprised to see them eradicate the SDP in the matter of hours is an understatement.

Me too. The power of our collective "no" voice will be called upon again shortly for C15. Let's be unified and prepared to do it again.
