Any updates??? I want an update...hopefully we'll hear something (anything?) by Friday??? I know S.E. is going to let us know once something/anything happens, but I would at least like to know if they're still meeting anywhere, or if we're basically just sitting ducks waiting for the NMB to speak...

They had to have given S.E. some sort of time frame i would think as to when they would get back to him.

There is the other issue of that little grey stuff called sealant along the leading edge of the wings. Check it out in your Configuration Deviation list. A total of only 24 inches of that stuff may be missing on any portion of the wing. Start taking a better look at that type of stuff. One would never want to fly an airplane with Missing parts.

Sucks that the company tells us that, but an e-mail that would take 1.0 minutes to write with one sentence doesn't come from our own side...not bashing the union, just sayin'

The NMB would never say that. It would completely disrupt the process.

Try again.
