I wasn’t being too serious! Personally I don’t see the NDA w/r to the LOA being lifted until just before the system bid comes out the first week of August.

 

What do you think could possibly be written in an ALPA-JB LOA that addresses/affects the system bid?

 

which one of them nice AAL fleet types you’re gunna fly.

 

Just wait and watch, call it an educated guess.

 

Literally no one thinks an AA merger is happening.

 

How about an illustrative example of something similar to what you are "guessing"?

 

I could very well be wrong .... it could be just predicated on mgt wrapping up negotiations with the FAs. But IF the LOA alters the CBA Filling of Vacancies/Displacement language (which the MEC Chair seemed to harp on for half of that video message) we will need to see the language before the publication of the system bid. IF it’s just concerning credit caps and ALV relief then my guess is flat out wrong! IF something crazy has developed where we somehow take someone’s deferred CS300 slots accelerating our deliveries and trashing the 190s quicker, again that will have to be displayed in the system bid because those seats will be anticipated staffing within the next 12 months. Either way, no sense in dedicating too much thought to it, we will know when we know. I’m just spitballing, and before someone counters my logic here I’ll just concede to their point, cause it’s all just a guess on my part.

 

What if there is no reason other than they can push through with the cash on hand until recovery? Would you rather they furlough?

 

humour needs too be less loud?

 

I hear ya. I don't think the MEC would change the language to make it easier for the company to displace. I think a lot of time was spent on displacements in the video because they are likely coming. Not because of the LOA, but because of the general state of airline.

You are correct, all guessing at this point.
