It's a good strategic move, in any case. If the price is right, buy it. If it gets too high, then let somebody else write the check! If an offer is in the works, we'll know soon enough.

With a bid could we get a peak at their plans to restructure as well? I think that would be a good plan. Also no one commented on my rumor of MIA-Rio and MIA-GRU.
And as a person who has been on perpetual reserve since he got hired, the new seniority on reserve implementation is GREAT. Gotta hand it to the men and women working behind the scenes to get all of us some improvements. Long list has been done in a short amount of time I think.

AMR was counting on those guys taking pennies on the dollar. Now they're gonna want dimes and quarters.
Maybe Anderson will tell the MEC his true intentions in "closed session".

Great point I think that's at least part of the strategy.
As for the upcoming meeting with RA:
I think well be hit up once again to write letters on behalf of Delta to get a deal approved...
How many letters have you sent and how did it work out for you?
Cheers

IMHO the AMR SA route network is their crown jewels.
I'm sure DAL will go toe to toe with AMR out of MIA.

I think not.
The confidentiality agreements are a tool management uses to manipulate our reps.

NDAs are great from a company perspective but how do we, the membership find out? It'll be after an LOA is signed and we'll be told to trust them, it was the best deal they could get.
Before you think I'm bashing ALPA, I do that frequently, but I have also applauded a lot of the recent gains.

Very good update just posted on new Reserve Utilization Order guidelines and Raw Score Buckets. Two real positive changes are:

- Specific trip preferences for Yellow Slips, to be awarded by seniority
