Scoop, cmon man. It's no coincidence it's being dropped at the end of the day Friday. If it was great news, the letter would already be out.

Hopefully they also release the already agreed to concessions so we can understand everything. The insulting pay rates will not seem as insulting without the concessions slap in the face that comes with it.

Well gents...

Make sure the aircraft is extra safe
Make sure you brief safely
Make sure you taxi safely
Make sure you fly safely...

Just make sure it is an overall safe operation.

And if maintenance needs to look at it, no matter where you are, make sure they do. Safety first!

AND They also got a substantial bump to their pension. Their retirement is better than FedEx's by a good margin

AND they got improved rest facilities....among several other items. The retro/bonus does suck though.
I disagree. I saw the slide. It's misleading. As a FedEx guy, I would still take ours over theirs.

Company finally made a section 3 counter, sounds like it is not good.

Dude,
You have no idea how sucky it is from the outside looking in.

Its not great news. I was told it sucks - which is why I don't think DALPA is playing games.

I don't think they are trying to figure out how to polish a turd, but instead worried about setting the right tone for the torch and pitchfork crowd.

That's probably correct. Hopefully it's more than just tone.

C44 sure sounds like they are putting on battle armor. I've got my 6 month war chest loaded.

I got a C44 email at 1554 EST and they came right out and said the section 3 counter is garbage. I have over 6 months pay in savings, I can strike longer than the company can.
