Why the heck do we need a union for then?

Going into a negotiation with this mentality, will yield mediocre results.

I know RA set goals, shares goals and achieves goals.

Why does DALPA?

Never done the hip, but have had two shoulders, elbow and wrist surgeries that required much work after.

Do the therapy, especially the "at home" stuff religiously. I was lazy about one shoulder and when I was better one the second, it is night and day how it feels.

Most know about this, but for those who don't, here's the TV coverage + schedules for football for those traveling domestically.

Well I just heard that the RFP announcement will come right after the New Year.

I get the feeling we may never actually see any mythical wide body order other that what Virgin and Air France order.

I get the same feeling. Not a good feeling, kind of like the one where you sense impending doom.

Roger that.
I just don't think it will get that far. It better not.

If these profits continue and we don't have a new contract by mid 2016 then I think "labor risk" will be very much back on the table.
I don't think this pilot group will go quietly into the multi-year NMB black hole.
ALPA would be under some serious pressure if that happens.

Our concessions have been in place for a decade now. Our sacrifices have restored this corporation back to health. Vigorous health. We've been very patient and very "constructive", but now its time for a little reciprocity.

4,8,3,3 isn't going to cut it. Waiting well into 2016 isn't going to cut it.
Fortunately, I think management and the union are both well aware of that.

Management Negotiating Tactics 101.

We've seen this movie. You know what's coming.

The widebody order will be tied to Contract 2015.

Does "fleeting opportunity" ring a bell?
I hope we don't fall for it again.
