What exactly is the "global production balance?"

Must be awesome because we will give flying to Virgin to get it.

It means we balance our flying with theirs based on all global international flying not just US-LHR flying......I think. I'm sure they will explain it after they accept the LOA.

Sounds like Cam Newton was in a car accident this afternoon and was injured. I hope he's ok.

I know you're kidding, right? NYC is the easiest commute in the airline with 3 airports to get there plus the back door on the shuttle if necessary.

Where do you commute from? Def not easiest commute to or from MSP. The last flight out of JFK or LGA is sometimes 3:30, and to give yourself two flights to commute to work you need a late afternoon check in. So hardly any trips are commutable. I would hate that.

Look for 5 day trips coming to most domestic categories starting in February. Supposedly a small percentage of trips, maybe 10%.

Although I don't intend to bid 5 day trips, in general the more variety the better. Most commuters who can hold them would easily be able to fly three trips now and break 75 Hours. :D

Look for sick time to increase exponentially..........

I for one prefer 5 day trips....... At NWA I typically would bid 5 day commutable trips with credit above 28 hours! I realize not all want trips this long but there are also those that do not like the short trips.

Hopefully the mix will result in a better QOL for the majority.

This LOA looks really bad. Why would we do this?
