Ok, if you want to get a laugh, look at the new briefing cards. There are several things that made me laugh. Whoever was the graphic designer who designed these things definitely didn't use their degree.

For example. I'm pretty sure the infant lifevests don't vibrate when they are activated but it sure looks that way. Also, did you know the Dash-8 changes to a jet during cruise? I didn't? Anyways, there are several other things to give you a good laugh.

We don't, however the contract allows managment to bring an airframe on property while a rate is negioted within 60 days (I think).

Will these PSA 900's be Mesa's or new ones? If they are Mesa's, due to Fee for Departure will they have to take Mesa's pilots too? If they don't, they are going to need like 200 more pilots. Maybe this is the beginning of a merger or the bring PSA's rates to PDT and ask if we can beat them.

Last night, we were assigned a mediator for negotiations. His name is Tony Iannone.

Mr. Iannone's biography from the NMB website:
Tony joined the National Mediation Board as a Mediator in September of 2009 with 23 years of labor relations experience in the railroad industry as a labor advocate. He began his career in 1970 as a freight brakeman with the Penn Central Railroad and subsequently worked as a railroad freight and passenger conductor with Penn Central, Conrail and Amtrak. Prior to joining the NMB, he had served in elected local, general and international positions with the United Transportation Union since 1986.

I wonder if PSA will invite our negotiating team to sit in on their 900 talks, as we did during ours?

Good to see that we got a mediator.

I wonder from that description however if this is his first airline mediation? I guess its not arbitration though, so he can't really screw things up too bad.

It's on the internet -- it must be true. Al Gore told me so.
