Funny how we will be up for negotiations soon. Don't for a second think that there isn't a master plan that was thought up a long time ago on how to deal with us. We are just being positioned for a bend over.

Here comes $100bbl oil!! Just in time.

Are they dropping destinations, or taking 3 R/T per day to 2 to keep the 200s full?

Yep. You will have to negotiate a contract for terms on aircraft that would be coming in to replace the Saab's that you don't know about. You will be given an "opportunity" for more flying if you are willing to work for "XXX".

XXX. That's pretty much where my paycheck goes anyway. If they paid me with that I might not overdraw my bank account so much.

Comair fell for that one three times in a row (2005, 2006, 2007) and despite that, today we're half our former size.

By the way, we're up for negotiations in 2011 also. Time for our MECs to buddy up or we're all hosed.

Good luck to you guys.
