You are kidding right? No one needs to be there to be yelled at. The will post it when they want to . It may be tomorrow if they go and announce SOC tomorrow AM, or the first in the AM as they planned.

You will never know where a negotiation between the company and the association starts because of the bickering you are doing now. What this proves is that to protect everyone from suing the pants off each other they keep it under lock and key. I hate that but they do do it for a reason.

I believe that NWA as a wholly owned entity of DAL will cease to exist after inventory cut over which will be around 22JAN10.

Guys! IT'S OVER!!!!

SOC will be tonight at 0000 +1 from what I have been told by a few ppl today.

My inside sources are telling me that the SOC has been signed - but - it will not be effective until tomorrow night at 0000 + 1. I guess we will see. I hope your sources are better than mine - I know I'm getting displaced and I'm ready to know my fate!

I know Johnso29, but I couldn't resist. It's fun getting irrational people spun up.
