10pm DFW local news NBC. true story

American Airlines expected to announce jet orders

Sounds like its true.

I'd expect at least a union email about it before hearing it on the local news.

That would be big news for the Dallas area, all the local news source's website is showing is some hit-and-run drama and a blurb about some guy who tried to pie someone in the face...

"AMR is scheduled to release second-quarter financial results Wednesday. Investors will also be watching to see whether the company decides to sell or spin off its American Eagle subsidiary, which connects passengers from smaller cities to American Airlines hubs."

Um... not exactly a closed deal yet there bud

Pardon me, sir. I meant the aircraft order.

I expect it too! My friends expect it too! But I think many of us can count more than the fingers we have, the number of times we have found out news about our operations from the media before our company informs us. Its sad but it happens a lot. Your absolutely correct I EXPECT it. But some 'big boys clubs' don't fill us in on everything they know. They keep us OUT of the loop. Their not unionizing with us. Their in the back room with the door shut knowing more than we do. (ok i guess I vented)

I figure if the media has this on paper in their studio then their just not released legally to say it for sure until tomorrow. But you wait, itll be made official tomorrow.

Means that he have to be in class at or before October 11, 2011 to be in the group. If not he'll be screwed up!!!!
