Reading between the lines, I think so. The opener will tell but......looks pretty strong and positive.

Our opener is complete and will be released in conceptual form to the pilot group next week. In addition we have asked the company to exchange openers next week instead of waiting the contractual 270 days prior.

Where's Carl? I've got some nice crow for him to eat.

This was on youtube so hope it doesn't offend. I love this opening.

Congrats! Did they make you do it single pilot to make it a more fair fight?

I saw TO's letter. I was impressed. Cautiously optimistic.

Something is going on.

From the letter:

We believe opportunities exist, so today, your MEC directed the Negotiating Committee to meet with Delta management early next week to discuss opening the contract now with the goal of achieving a comprehensive agreement on an expedited basis.

And:

To that end, your reps will soon be in the lounges again and frequently for the foreseeable future to provide you with additional information and address your questions.

Did the union send out an email stating this? I haven't received it yet.

Awesome! Congrats! The 400 series are much less intense. :)

No. But, they told me though that no matter how good we were, we would have never passed a 320 checkride. They are so intense, and difficult, and they make you fly the single engine ILS's, inverted, with both engines on fire, while you are wearing your masks.....

I stopped listening at that point and all I could think was, thank God I'm not on the 320 -- especially in Atlanta. :D
