Reps were called, discussions were had, we're still not optimistic.

Ben has "I busted my own buddies (NWA Mechanics) union" Bendoveritis and we got Mike "i wrote a contract to help my seniority block" Platypus. Tell me again what we have to be optimistic about.

Oh bow I love thee, let me count the ways! Six reps scared of their own shadow, five reps with nothing but RJ airline experience, four negotiators with no accomplishments, three MEC Officers with dreams of ALPA National jobs, two ex-reps in charge, and one failed contract behind them all. Absolutely, we got countless reasons to be optimistic.

you are right. Something is amiss. I hit the send button at exactly 12:00. Half hour later I found out someone junior to me got it. maybe his Internet was faster but if I knew sooner I would have bid for something else, so I missed out on that too.

Instead of soliciting several hundred phone calls, why not send out one email? Saves you hours (days) on the phone and gets one standard message out to us. Of course it also means whatever crap you are peddling will be out there forever.

Actually I'm glad you taught her that stuff.

Is anyone sick and tired of four day trips that start at 5am on the first day and end at 11pm on the last day? Does GH have any say about this or control over our crappy lines

Unfortunately NO, the scheduling committee receives pairings and then builds lines as I understand it...

It seems to me like more vindictiveness from our "friends" in mgmt. They clearly don't like the 4/5 days off, so they'll punish us with utterly non-commutable pairings on both the front and back side. This way we're burning those valuable days off trying to get to work/ home from work. Another win for them.

Tell me again how we're "friends flying friends?"

The Crowne is a TERRIBLE hotel for new hires and upgrades. The new hires need to be in an extended stay hotel. Anything less is unacceptable. The current new hire class is at the Hyatt House - which I applaud. Hopefully this is not something temporary and remains the norm. Preferably, they should be at an extended stay with a grocery near by or a hotel that will take orders and do their shopping for them.
