You need to find the tiny "More Plan Options" right below the "print this page" button to see the DPMP numbers.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence. :rolleyes:

Thanks Purple!

Not sure that it will make a big difference, but I like the way you think.

I think SARS cost the U.S. travel industry 7 billion and there were zero cases in the U.S.

Ebola is pretty fresh. We've had a guy die and several U.S. contractions. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Silver lining: Better non-reving and cheaper hotels.

She heard the report about how the second nurse from Dallas had flown on the Frontier flight. To her, that translated to: 'she got it from the airplane'.

The more the public knows about Ebola transmission, the better off we will be. Leaving it up to the public to figure out, will cost us all some money.

What about informational videos and PAs in the gate house and onboard during boarding? I don't think we are there yet, but we should be ready.

Something else I've thought about: proactively denying boarding to any people exhibiting any flu symptoms to prevent the quarantine like circumstances at the destination when the passengers stress out about potential ebola enroute. Civil liberties vs. protecting the operation.

The health worker treated the patient in Dallas, and then flew. She did not get the virus from being an airline passenger. So far no one who has flown with an infected person has gotten the virus. It has yet to be seen whether or not anyone will, but I suspect not. In two weeks we will know though.

Still no schedules out for "b" positions that I see. I know it's all about quality control and making our life's better but there has to be a way to speed up the review process.

So you'd be ok if someone with Ebola sneezed on you? You'd use the same lav?

No one so far has contracted the virus from being on an airplane. If that changes, I will change my opinion.

Ya, ask Singapore about their bottom line after SARS.

Take a look at the last bid. A large number of FO's bid off. They expect that to continue. If not I suspect there will be displacements.

In case you guys haven't noticed, AAL is printing money too and all they got is 5% over their awesome bankruptcy contract. And we are gonna knock it out of the park? Pray tell how.

I really hope they exceed our rates. I don't however think it will happen. As part of their mou they agreed to go to binding arbitration if a agreement on a final joint contract can't be reached. Per the MOU the arbitrator can't award more then 40 million in improvements above the mou.

I may have looked at people senior to me, but it didn't look like a "large number". I think they will have to displace.
