So much for the firm deliveries.
They're not "firm" until your butt's in the cushion. They can always be moved around and/or cancelled, no matter what any exec says.

Lesson learned?

Who and how it was decided that $1m is fair is anyone's guess if true.
Putting the quid into a merger fund would be a great use for that money. It prevents an assessment, which presumably no one wants. In the event no merger happens, those funds are redistributed back to the pilot group, not back to the company.

They aren't delayed. At least the above article is referencing the 321NEOs, no idea on he 321 CEOs for this year.

Per the article, the CEO stated "He does expect any impact on the published delivery schedule. The first aircraft is to be delivered to Qatar Airways before the end of the year"

And considering we don't get our 321 NEOs until 2019....

No thanks ALPA, I'd rather hold my share of the quid until an assessment is necessary. At least that way I can invest it or even keep it when American gives me a class date. No need to stash it under ALPAs proverbial mattresses for a rainy day.

You are preaching to the choir my friend. I always knew they could be changed. No argument here. I just wanted to know if anyone heard anything because I heard that the next two 321's are delayed.
