I do know that talking to some of them about self-determination, and how it should be used, is a little like talking to a chicken about a computer.

So I remain convinced that you need to let the F/A's sort it out among themselves. You need to work a while with the South F/A's, and the two F/A groups need to work together as well, before forming an opinion. Once that happens, then maybe this will be a more productive discussion.
I don't think we have to worry about the a possible FA union striking. Even the British governments stopped an FA strike today. On another thread the AA guys say the NMB told them flat out that the White House said not to release them for self help. As the law is currently written and even with radical leftists in the government, I don't see any major airline striking legally.

A lot of these FAs have no idea how the collective bargaining process works. Some think that vote in a union and like magic the get things. They are just as likely to lose all the "me too" stuff overnight if they do organize as none of that is contractual.

Buzz,

Go to Bids in icrew, then select initial bids then the last item is"Pbs reserve golden day bids". Select that and then rank your days. It should list the X days on your schedule. Remember you can only have two blocks of X days beginning with a golden day. Hope this helps.

Check;
Just go to the gate. First come First served. In ATL there is generally a line so get there early. We flow to the back as well.

A great summary. Which is why I think they need to be educated by the North F/A's, and why the North F/A's need to learn from the South F/A's, see who has it better. Then they can all figure out where they need to go.
