Sorry if this has been covered..I missed about a week and saw that equated to 100+ pages so I skipped ahead!!

Beer, there was a resolution that was presented and passed unanimously in Council 44 last Thursday that directed the 44 reps to bring that forth as a negotiating priority.

Go read your HOTLINE from C44.

I then jumped on it and it took me for a ride, kind of like this:



The ramper told me later that the hooks on that particular hose were not very good. Even thought that happened, I shall not, with an airplane with no recirc fans with the air off, I shall not not correct a bad hose.

I've not had to do in DTW yet, I fear though if I do it could turn into that scene in the Soprano's where that old guy takes out a lawn care guy for working on a yard in a neighborhood where his nephew now did the lawns. Then another mobster retaliated on said nephew while he was hanging by a rope cutting branches and took a shovel to the back of the guy's head holding the rope and brought the nephew out of the tree where he then proceeded to beat him, take all his cash and then demand 10% from any yard he cut in the neighborhood. I think Tony got that all straightened out through an LOA or something, maybe a MOU. Anyways, I had a crashpad in Elisabeth NJ, made me nervous to see guys cutting the grass. Thought I might get caught in a crossfire.

disclaimer: only one sentence above might not be true.

The difference is now all 88 crews will be 90 qualified just like th e767/757, 319/320 and 737-700/800 so now there is a precedence to work with.

Default FA vote

What's all the worry about the FA vote. As one old British Air Captain once said to me, " Dont worry about the Flight attendants, they are just **********ing plateslingers in the back. It's the guys up front that count!!!"

So I read elsewhere that UCAL might also kick the AFA out. And Mesaba.
