I am sorry for my earlier incoherent rambling.

"Numerous calls and emails have been pouring in throughout the day to NWA ALPA reps and the ALPA office from pilots asking when the seniority list arbitration award will be published. As of 6:45 pm CST, the arbitrators’ award has not been received by the Merger committee. The Communications committee will notify Northwest pilots via FastRead and Code-a-phone as soon as the award is posted on the NWA MEC website."

You're not alone, most of us at Compass think they were nuts, too. In all fairness, management kinda had the loaded gun to their head: they wanted to outsource 100-seaters and the judge just might've allowed it.

Yes, you can still smell the stockyards at Altus and yes Charlie is still running the bar (the highlight of this fine establishment).

I should have stuck with hercs. Looking forward to getting back to the 88 in ATL next month (hopefully, with all this "F word talk starting to get nervous).
