Here's my (our) point of view....I completely believe this is an innocent, non-planned computer issue. We get alot of those here. I don't care how long it takes to remedy. But if this happened 8 months ago, only to 9e, some of the 5% haters would have still stepped in and said "our MEC wouldn't let that happen! We would have made them test it first, or they would have a huge penalty! it WOULD be out by deadline!" or something of the sorts. It's the hypocrisy that sucks, not the conspiracy of why the award isn't out.

Do we know for a fact that the union isn't talking with the company right now? Its a totally different group of people running the company than it was 8 months ago. You know its not about constantly taking the opposing side of managment no matter what. Its about knowing when to take a stance on something. People were critical of your MEC because of poor decisions.

Looks like Frank has changed our current positions on our preference bids to what the award will say. So some of us already know where we are going. It looks like several Mesaba guys are going to Q400 CA since any MSP captain position is now massively senior.

That is weird, I wouldn't have expected that. Why would he go into the system and change positions, does that help him figure the award out?

Colgan changed ours as well, but I don't think thy are correct. I got a Position that I know I can't hold. I wouldn't put too much into this.
