But my bet, is no you don't do anything right now. Why tie yourself up to the free delta-connection-in-big-jets cow when you have no idea what's coming next.

There's no benefits to the company to stretching it out - they are in bankruptcy and can threaten with the courts. If AMR wanted to play hardball, they would bring APA to the table, hand them the latest proposal and say "here yah go - This or we'll see you in front of the judge in two months."

Go ask your question on the Cargo forum, and let some junior UPS pilots share their opinion of UPS with you.

This is called a thread run amuck.
I wouldn't worry about it honestly until you see Slowplay or PG mention it.

There's no way we're going to see a new contract until AMR's future is more clear.

Hopefully that will be the most significant effect. There may be worse, not just for us, but the whole industry. Pretty much every scenario is bad.

Well the good news today is
The Iranians are threatening to stop all oil flow to the west according to Fixed News and the speculators will rake in millions on the margins.......Some of those guys will get millions and some may get pink slips! How many black swan events can a guy get in one career?

My wife applied to be a TSA agent - small airport with 15 departures/day. starting pay was 35k for screeners and 65k for supervisor - at that airport. I dont know what they pay at JFK.

No, no furloughs. Overstaffed for the winter, correctly staffed for the summer unless more flying is pulled.
