Really enjoyed the ride today, guys: Mildly curious surprise followed by rising expectations, nearly climactic exultation followed by doubt, rumor, innuendo and general depression slowly coming to a halt in post BK reality.
But, tomorrow is another day! Maybe the Negotiator's Notepad guy will hit "send" by accident in the middle of the night.
Tonight I go to bed with the hope that RA and DALPA aren't stupid enough to send us a crappy deal at this juncture. It would be the biggest labor blunder in history.
Good luck to us all.

I bet you're right.

Absolutely. But why interject any logic when this show is so incredibly amusing? Pour another martini, and watch what is going on. Nothing has been released other than pure speculation and rumor, and the high warble spin has gone to new heights. Truly amazing. And sad... but in a strange way, very funny.

I'm just curious.. does the "younger crowd" still subscribe to the productivity model of pay rates and scales? If so... then please explain the logic behind that "thought" process......
5/10/5/5 will pass the over 55 crowd but for the younger bunch there will need to be more in order to pass.

I'd rather take the risk and let us vote on it then just have the MEC vote it down. I think a resounding no vote would be a big show of Bar like unity.
There really is no way to spin these numbers to a positive. There is no way it passes.
Unless this is the expectations game, manage lower then come in high. Makes the unacceptable look great! 15% in the first year? Sounds bad unless you're expecting 12%.

Just wait and see what happens and if we get the TA then we can dissect it.

I hear!!!
I hear the TA is out and I was not surprised about all the optimism on APC, of course countered by, well you know the "other crowd". Frankly, both are good in my opinion. But I decided to hang with my kids and catch their ball game and cheer from the stands with my wife. It was good for the soul!
Just peeking in on the goings on, (sort of like a train wreck) still optimistic and hopeful we will stick together and make the best of a bad situation. We just may be surprised!
So I will have a beer in salute to all professional pilots tonight. We deserve it!

Ain't buying it.
If that's the case, just ditch the union and hope for the best. Paying for a COLA is something we shouldn't even be considering on an academic level much less actually passing on to the membership to vote on. Gees.
