That's what many guys at Eagle used to say and now they can't run for the door fast enough, thing change fast in this industry fast and uncertainty is a powerful tool for management.

I think almost all of the CAs < 10 years have apps out. Most of the 10-15s do. 15-20 depends on age (most are in their 50s and not leaving) and the 20+ will ride it to the ground. So really it depends on what your seniority is in who you're flying with/asking.

Shocked no one has commented yet on the health care memo they sent at 1602 yesterday as the turned off their phones and ran for the door. As usual bad news always hits at closing time on Friday in this place.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing in the hotel room. Here's your new ACA B/S increase per month and deductibles. And....we're gone.

Seems my premium for the Basic CDHP drops about six bucks next year? What am I missing?

And still no word from the company about the money they stole from us.

What I've heard is that Brad himself is denying any fraud took place. He responded to an email from a friend of mine, telling him that the union used the wrong number of plan participants in their calculation. This is why it went to the grievance process and not a real court. So don't expect to see anything come of it. You know the union will refrain from biting the hand that feeds them, as usual.

FWIW the PPO plan went up less than a buck next year. Apparently the CDHP went up quite a bit.

If the union's math is correct, then they better grow a sack and sue the company and get interest too. I'm tired of them being a bunch of pussies when we are getting screwed.

United is extremely unhappy with republic and the Q, i doubt they will get more Q's until they can prove they can operate and staff the ones they already have. United had to publicly apologize to some of the mtn towns they serve out of denver
