Default Side letters?

I have heard that the company is trying to pick off a few or their wants (and OUR leverage) via side letters outside of section 6.

It would obviously be a colossal blunder to dilute our leverage this way. Look how the AF/KLM settlement worked.

Has the NC officially resigned, or can they still negotiate?

I sure hope the MD11 doesn't try anything like this.

If this is true in any way as much light as possible should be shined upon it.

Rats don't like the light and scurry from it.

I was concerned about this happening after the TA was turned down. At this point, any activity like that would have to be DFR material...either individually or as a group.

Would end with DPA by a landslide.

Any LOA/MOU would have to go to MEMRAT.

And it better be eye watering.

Heard the 190s are.coming. Big surprise.

I,too, heard the company wants to complete a side letter for 190s, possibly in conjunction with the meeting in SLC.

Why would we allow management to peel off our leverage? I seriously hope dalpa lame duck leadership won't do this. But I also have no doubt they'd love to "teach us a lesson" for slapping them down.

I'm tying to figure out what 'side letter' does the company need to bring 190's to mainline? Can't they just buy them and post a bid? Or are they trying to -exchange- the 190's for concessions on our part, like LCA trip pulls or something else?
