Looks like A330 NEO just became a reality. I hope we get some of these airplanes.

Just a heads up, I had my new roller bag with uniform, hat and dirty laundry stolen from the ATL bag room. CP says it was the third one reported last week.
I had the orange 2014 tag, and other name tags on it.
CP says that in an other theft, the thieves removed all the tags and switched the contents into another bag after stealing an I pad.....

In 2019 we will conservatively retire 500 pilots.
Ultra conservatively each retirement will result in 6 initial training events in the waterfall.
Imagine 3000 initial training events in 12 months. The amount of seniority list instructors. The amount of additional pilots to do the line flying.
Now flash to 2022 when over 1000 pilots will retire. 6000 initials.
Agreeing to pay banding will, IMO, slow our progression a full 2 years. Where we would need 200 captains in a category, with pay banding now we will only require 170. Imagine this across the system.
Think of this sales job as a magician. You watch his hand while he shows you the good stuff. The other hand is on your wallet.
Pay attention and get involved. The insiders can only win again if we play dead.

I am also against pay banding but why all the angst? At the council 16 meeting it was said that pay banding has never come up.
Is there a feeling that the company will try to get us to accept pay banding this time around?

Training costs are going to be a big area where mgmt will want relief.
Hmm... I wonder.. "What are they willing to give up for that?"
