Glad I'm commuting to work tomorrow and not today! Last big storm sidelined a bunch of aircraft due to hail damage.

Word is there is a huge push for a complete TA to present to the MEC in May.

There were some ALPA guys in the MSP crew room saying the exact same thing. Don't know if the big push is ALPA or the company. They did say, however, that the company approached ALPA first to begin negotiations early.

Yep, trucks being thrown about. Tornado just missed my grandmothers house. Place is crazy right now.

They have apparently been meeting face to face weekly since the exchange of the openers. Lots of people tied up trying to get a comprehensive deal done quickly.

Has anybody ever seen this? I've got my brother on a buddy pass from SFO to NRT tomorrow. The flight's looking open, but the business class seats have some odd numbers. Here it is...

It shows 26 available, but only authorized to 4. What's up with that? Could it be weight restricted? I've never seen this before on a flight. The authorized seats are usually higher than the available. Any ideas?

:eek:Holy Cow!! Video of semi truck/trailers tossed hundreds of feet in the air!!:eek:

Trucks start flying at 20 seconds in...

looks like an anomaly. Check the removal list and see what is there. I doubt it will be weight restricted that much. Could be a soft hold by a travel agent. Watch it.

I bet. Nasty weather out there right now.

A quick agreement is easy. All management has to do is write the check.

The only question is how bad they want it.
