For the sake of current NWA guys, I hope we can negotiate the SLI/contract soon...or they will get shut out from a lot of what they call "premium widebody flying..." I'm beginning to see why some of them are a bit punchy since NALPA overplayed their initial negotiating position a few months ago.

Hopefully we can put this whole mess to bed soon.

I hope for their sake you are correct. It has been very quiet on the Northern Front lately.

You will hate it. I strongly suggest you not bid it.

Concur. Stay where you are. It sucks. Trips suck. Crews suck. Layovers suck. Worst seat at the entire company. Particularly because it is not "premium widebody" flying...

Stay domestic. Its easier too.

Funny guys.
I figured it would be easy to combine two trips together and fly one on one off. At least that is what guys in my seniority are doing.
Makes the commute from DFW doable as well.

I should not have to do any LHR if I do not want to.....

Well, there was no backfilling. Guess I will have to wait until Aug.
BTW how many lines did you guys have last winter on the B side?

The bid went very junior for the 777. Captain went down to Mar 88. The fall bids may see Captains who were 91 hires.
