Whatever happened with LOA 67?
I left before the new contract came into effect but I remember there was quite a bit of rancor over LOA 67 and the company’s refusal to honor the terms. Was it ever resolved?

IIRC, ALPA took the matter to federal court, filing in a rather labor friendly district in Illinois; and yet we got stuck with the most un-friendly judge possible for that district. I remember researching his decisions on labor matters, all of which seemed to side with the company. If we continued down that path I don’t think we would have liked the outcome, we were just using it for leverage in negotiations.

That happens in negotiations. Especially when the language is weak which it was (would have been helpful to tie the average pay rates to actual airlines). Best to not take it personally and use the arbitration ruling as leverage going forward. That happened and increased our bonus check to some extent.

You moved on to greener pastures, remember?
