Default Well there it is Bluebelles.

Absolute confirmation no agreement by the end of 2017.

If only someone could have told you a year ago this was going to happen.

I KNOW, there I go just being negative again. Keep rowing!

Cut him some slack. His reading comprehension isn’t great.

Hopefully the NC just keeps doing what they're doing and isn't distracted by that email. They've already had the company increase their compensation proposal two or three times since negotiations started, and we haven't even started picketing yet.

If you actually read the email it makes it clear they won't be negotiating on contentious issues again until January.

It says explicitly that the meetings in November and December will be spent on language for sections already TA'd.

Does it not say exactly that?

Southerner?

Crass for sure, but he's not wrong.

This was a full fledged attempt at lowering expectations. DO NOT let it.

The difference between "measurable" and "significant" are arbitrary.

I'm sure whatever was passed across the table was promptly shuffled to the circular file as the NC moved on to the next discussion.

Moving along.

What it fails to mention is how are Jetblue and AK going to compete for pilots when they are # 4 and 5 in terms of pay and benefits? Nobody wants sloppy 4th and 5th when 1, 2, and 3 are hiring a 1000+ a year.
