Me thinks the new hub will be in Seoul and we will only be doing long haul stuff.
Yes, the old agreement for a floor on departures out of Narita was contingent on a very small codeshare to/from Narita. It generated about 500,000.00 a year in total revenue and far less in profit. If they shut that codeshare down we had zero protections in the Pacific.
Keep in mind that as the Narita operation has wound down we have added a lot of point to point from SEA. Overall Pacific block hours are up substantially since the merger. The numbers are available on the DALPA website. In 07/08 we had about 185,000 hours of Pacific flying. In 2014 it is over 230,000.

I have been putting the keyboard on whenever I put it away. I think I may have a bad keyboard. Every time I leave it connected with the machine turned off, I find the Surface battery depleted and the tablet very hot.

The data is available to any member. Perhaps now your arguments can be based upon the same data your representatives used to guide their vote to ratify the T.A.
I'm looking forward to the description of the improvements to our scope by our negotiators.

Thanks, everyone, for the gouge the other night. JB also recommended foran's. Got in late and wanted to stay close, so I went there. Tried Short's Huma Lupa Licious. Rock-solid IPA. Food was...OK.

Long DTW might become a Plan B layover:

- Pack a couple cans of Dale's
- Chill in sink using hotel laundry bag with ice
- Order pizza

Yes, one day before the vote, by going to the MEC website and searching for it through the library files.

There are no more arguments to make because it's no longer a TA. It's 2 more pages to our Scope section.

You won't be disappointed Splash. You can be certain not to receive any description of the downside changes to our scope by our negotiators.
