Flight Attendant merger by May. Pay began immediately (Saturday, I think) When do the profit sharing checks come out?

Oh wouldn't that by funny. Part of the reason I did not bid it!

8Yes, I know you were joking.

Oh, you know FTB and I bid it anyway! Much love for the Maddog!

Apparently the 1st iteration of the bid resulted in over 1500 training events, Crew Planning is going to have to change lots of awards.....probably no displacements off the 747-400 and 777.

My glass is half full. I just keep many options open to keep it that way.

75 trillion in BOA derivatives just got backstopped by the FDIC.

Read that again. Its not a misprint. 75 trillion.

We're in for a nasty ride. All the more reason we need ultra strong scope on our end and a management team that can compete and win on the other end, rather than trying to perpetually outsource its own core product. This economy will be a huge game of musical chairs for our industry; there won't be room for everyone when the music stops, let alone all the fantasy orders, options and MOU's for next gen airline "growth plans". It is a zero sum game and there will be losers. Big time. We need to figure out how to win rather than just merge-downsize-outsource.

Other than that, how does rerunning it change anything?

Exactly and precisely. If they want to cut training events down significantly, they just hold a few extra people in a few key seats and stop a massive waterfall.

I sure as heck put in for it. And yeah if it costed that many training events, they are going to have to do some tweaking and like such as. (this is oddly deja vu-ish)
