Burn;
It is on my DVR.
No my wife told me to bid A positions. I am sure that I may never see it by the next bid but who cares
For those of you that are keeping count.
AS soon.
JAL should be ours
100 seater shortly
new wide bodies
base closure
one if not two new base openings in 2010.
Old base will be getting lots of flights soon
When all of this comes out in short order it will make your heads swim.
Happy New Year.

Why the big push for SEA? Don't we already have a base there?

Exactly, and the man did say 'former' base. PDX may have some traction, but I would bet BOS or DFW. Certainly not MSY, unfortunately

Actually the contract references the 210 and 365 day windows by dating of posting not date of closure. That makes this bid illegal. It should have posted 1 Jan and closed 11 Jan at the earliest. I think the union is giving them a pass on this but I know a couple pilots who are considering filing a grievance.

I've heard of several other grievances as well... up to and including North guys suing to be award DTW 777 since it's "replacing" 744 flying. Ugh.

NWA rejected that option and the much better joint contract that came with it. The DALPA opener was taken off the table for arbitration. It was made clear that no negotition positions prior to arbitration would carry forward into arbitration. Even in the second attempt to get a list the table position from DALPA did not staple 500 NWA pilots to the bottom. The final list from the arbitrator was however very very close to the original DALPA proposal. Almost mirrored it!
