647 June
648 April
649 Feb of 2017

901-905 were supposed to be April through August. I think I misunderstood. Those will be here in September through January now.

664 and 665 March not sure if they're here yet.
677 April
668 May
669 November, built in Mobile
670 August
671 December

All subject to change of course

I haven't seen anything on it, but are we getting any of the Alabama Airbii? I'll have to change my "little Frenchman behind the screens"-schtick if we do.

This is going to light up the speculation fire to roast some rumor filled marsh mellows.
I'm guessing it's the culmination of being completely worn down. They have very little leverage and have their hands tied by the RLA. Barriers to entry are low and a flock of new recruits is always waiting and replacement cost is low. I think Walmart workers have more leverage.

Hell the United and Continental FAs still don't have a contract and there's what 20000 or them.

I hope we understand that we have much much much more leverage than them. Expect and demand the best

Yet the AA FAs just got a 6% raise mid contract. Most of them are at $61/hr starting in April.

Our FA's will be at $51 in 5 more years. Looks like the rumors of the company desire for near parity at DOS+5 may be true.

I seriously hope our NC knows this is a non starter for us.

This!

The FA experience speaks to mgmt's attitude but not to our ability to get a deal
