Yes, but this is the same group that laments the "fact" that they could have been pilots at NWA too, if they would have gone through those 4 more weeks of ground school.

Who knew?

I think everyone is missing the next shoe to drop.

I would suggest that a number of PFAA (the exNWA in house FA union) types probably voted no to stick it up AFA's arse.

Soooooooooooo, sometime a year after all this plays out there will be another card drive for an in house union. Not arguing it one way or the other, just someone who likes to watch elections and tries to read tea leaves on why.

Sorry Ferd,

Reading tea leaves won't work on this forum. Here, you must be able to "connect the dots".

This is off topic, but is NYC still a domicile for the -88? DL really thinned out ops out of there and seemed to move a lot to DTW and MSP.

Back to how much I hate our reserve system. I'm number 5 on shortcall tomorrow. The top 5 guys (me included) all go on between 3:30am and 6am. What a waste of my time. There's virtually no chance of me being used. It's very frustrating being away from my family for no reason. I can see why guys take chances on reserve.
