Listen to Timbo on this one! Call the PBS help guys. You will do better then many senior bidders if you do!

-5 YEARS duration which puts us well into 2020+ before a contract that doesn't have bk work rules.

I think you will find the A321 NEO is not much of a transatlantic aircraft. Airbus is however working on a longer range version that won't be out until 2019 or later. It will have the range of the 757 if operated off long runways.

No changes to scope. APA held the line on it. Although we are currently adding a ton of 76 seaters (similar to your scope) that we had to cave to during bk.

This round, management created rumors of wanting 81 seats on E175s (adding 5 more)... they started talking about it months ago to wind everyone up and it worked. APA and everyone have now realized it was a red herring to make up manufactured negotiating capital. Management pulled it off the table right away.

Do we even have a 321 pay-rate yet?

Tax Prep

I know we talked about this last year, in the beginning of the year but I can't get the above search function to go past August.

What are the TAX Services folks have used to calculate the correct per diem?

Does this new AA agreement include that?

I know from talking to a couple of my friends at AA that was a really big issue in Bankruptcy but I haven't heard much about it lately.

I did that last night and it worked. Remember the IT Gods have decreed that we shall have a single unified password that will work for all DAL IT applications.........................except PBS. Double check your password.
