Bull squeeze! Nobody just has "a beer" at Spondivits. Even if it is before 10 am.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

One beer? Really?

It's a classic "wearing the other guy down" tactic. Build up hope...and then tear it down.
This "rumor" has Mike Cambpell's fingerprints all over it. And the outgoing LEC guys have proven they are happy to enable management's games.

Dated today
Negotiations Update: On December 22, 2015, your Negotiating Committee met with Delta’s negotiators to re-engage on Section 6 negotiations, presenting the Company with a proposal as directed by your MEC. (For details of the proposal, please see Negotiators’ Notepad 15-16, available on the Delta MEC website under the Negotiations Contract 2015 banner.) As of today, the Company has not responded, and no further negotiating sessions have been scheduled.

Pupledrank is spot on. I don't believe "good" rumors from "reliable" sources that can't be identified.

We retained higher paying 757's and still gained more 100 seat flying. Our profit sharing remains intact and projected profits are astronomical. One thing for them to remember; you can pay me now, or pay me later, the price will only increase over time. It's in their best interest to find a reasonable solution sooner than later.


Not sure how either side loses control over the process via mediation.

Scoop :confused:

no one does.

The only barometer that may influence is the UAL Ta approval/rejection.

Every dad we get another days worth of 2016 profit sharing. The longer it takes the less the pilot group will be willing to give any of it up.

Time is $$$

There's a pretty good chance each and everyone of us is making a lower hourly rate than we make over 10 years ago, without a pension and with basically catastrophic health insurance for which we pay quite a bit.

Show us the money!

If United votes 99% in favor, I think we will see a lower counter offer. If they vote 51%, our offer will be accepted before the United results are even published.

GF..... yep.

I think one more TA will have to get shot down before we get a good one.

Hopefully the MEC will kill it.
