What are we expecting from this meeting?

Same old thing, five years later...."After meeting with the company and the NMB over the last few days, there is little progress to report. We are scheduled to meet again in three months."

We are about to be put on ice again...I predict it will be at least 1-2yrs before we see the same s#&tty TA all over again.

I agree 100% with with that statement.

Higney I thank all of you for the long hours ya put in; But I will say this...
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE TO THE PILOTS IN MEMPHIS. They are the only one that voted in favor of that piece of crap TA that got sent to the pilot group.

I am listening to the pilots and fully understand that every day that goes by without a deal is less money in our pockets. That being said just signing a crap deal to live under for a minimum of 5 years is not how things work- thankfully the checks and balances of democracy showed that. I have no high expectations for the 19th, but we are fighting for a deal that compensates and treats pilots as professionals- not just a number that deleniates "senior" or "junior". The 19th is the first time since the TA was voted down that labor actually has a chance of leverage from a legal standpoint to get a deal done. Seniority is relative and a deal must cover all ranges of 1300 pilots- not just a small percentage.

Who ever said "worst hotels, worst pay pos place..." Hit the nail on the head!

One thing I don't understand tho, reserve FOs. You guys can organize a massive sick out, you have absolutely nothing to lose. You might be the ones who can save us of our misery... why not??
