So any ideas on how long this will take to go through the dispute process?
Oh and on the topic of yesterday's hot topic, any guesses as to the odds for stock buybacks with a new CFO?

If no one participates in check in we can't all be disciplined. Also ALPA cannot say not to participate. They will tell you we are required to follow the FOM.

Ummm since when do pilots and fas answer to a gate agent? What a joke. How many times have We waited on a gate agents. I've lost count.
Hmmm reading FAR 117 I can seem to find the t-5 prior to duty ruling.

So plus 1 is actually minus 4 which equals minus five. Common core. Embrace it.
No on time is on time. See this is the problem it does not have to be like this but for some reason flt ops or the ELT or someone is driving this crap. I can be so SOP it is not even funny. We can play games, I like games. All this will do is solidify the the pilot group.
My answer to that gate agent would be if you have an issue email my CP, I am not about to get yelled at by you.

Reminiscent of the release of the dependability policy years ago. They can thank that policy for a lot of yes votes in the Union drive.
Things seemed to be going halfway decent with negotiations. Why poke the bear? The signer of the email is former American Airlines managament. A company that had a toxic relationship with labor. I really hope that doesn't happen here.
