That's not exactly what our MEC update Dec 18th claimed. According to the MEC update, JD stated, "Give me time. I’m going to put a plan in place over the next 30 days." Implementing a plan is different than a pledge to get back to us. Is there a different conversation?
Also, yesterday's MEC update said MM had a phone consult with JD. No details on that phone conversation (surprise) but they did say JD hasn't presented a plan. Does that count as him getting back to us?
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Nothing has changed & I'm not holding my breath that it will.

Wasn't expecting change but was hopeful.

Not here to quibble over exact verbiage - we should all either have SEEN a new plan or at least heard about it by now would you not agree? MM mentioning a conversation w/o details means nothing to me. As you mentioned, nothing has changed.

At this point I’m glad to see NK is off the table. It seems for good, too. Rather than lighting literally 1B on fire for a very questionable BO, how about spending it on a career contract? If Franke and Jimmy want to grow the next few years, it would certainly put us on the right trajectory. Get some golden handcuffs on our pilots for once instead of being a doormat for the legacies.
