i know they were going to do a council realignment, are you sure thats not what he meant? because they can't close a domicile with less than 60 days notice
and i would hope the association wouldn't stand for that

Heard same in LGA crew room today.

So much for "at the earliest in the beginning or first half of 2012" if it is true.

still no official notice, if the company told the afa (and/or alpa) why didn't either put out the notice?

No he is not talking about the union realignment. They are closing LGA as a crew base on the 30th or 31st of August. Apparently the AFA has known since the 1st that this was going to occur and respected the companies wishes to keep it quiet to not ruin people's holidays. Such a kind and compassionate management we have.

1st, the FA's need to string RR by the ballz for not putting this out immediately.
2nd, management wasn't trying not to spoil the employee's holiday, they were trying to prevent a massive 24 hour flu epidemic in LGA on the holiday, they can't afford it.
Gents, the red pens need to start showing up in the crew rooms, it's about time.

It's true: LGA closing 8/31 (growing MDT/ROA). I just heard it from DJ himself (my understanding is that he's on his way up there to break the news right now). Sorry guys.
