I agree. I took it to be a positive overall tone with a disclaimer at the end that it's not over yet.

Regarding the lack of a system vacancy bid today, I'm willing to bet that at some point over the weekend someone from LSC will realize that the March bid was due.

On Monday morning they will come back into the office, slap some numbers on a pdf file, and send out the email as they go home for the night... They'll forget to put it in Flica though, and we'll have to wait for Tuesday to bid.

I find them to all be optimistic to be honest- Look at the statement "FAR MORE flexibility from management" again Bunker and tell me whats so optimistic? "Far more" is what I want you to address. And I see what I see based on the behavior I have observed- Do you?

I agree. I feel like progress is slowly starting to stall...hope I'm wrong. It's hard to get the full context from these emails though.

I keep hoping Im wrong-but its like nailin jello to the wall.
I heard a ton of FOs were at the job fair (WAI?) today talking to the legacies- Anyone know the projected attrition numbers for this year? Wanna bet final numbers?

What do you want to see bunk? You been here a while or can you leave if the TA is short of the legacies?

So 90% of the update was positive with progress made in key components of the most important sections and you want to focus on 2 words that in my mind were designed to temper the enthusiasm to explain that there's still work to be done......I'll focus on the 90% positive.you can focus on the rest.....

You looked for the words that backed your belief that we're stalled and in for prolonged negotiations......I didn't get that same tone as you did...

I think Im actually measured, but skeptical. No way to tell whats really going on. I do believe that those of us who are young and junior enough to leave are more apt to see a reason to leave while older, more senior types will wear rose-colored glasses. Is that what you meant by "we see what we want to see" ?
