I get you're ****ed, as are many of us but it I simply said 2 sections were TA'd and a 3rd is close. That's probably exactly what the union email will say as well. It's news reporting. I didn't sugar coat anything.

You going to remind me what I went through last contract? You've been here how long? The start of these negotiations?

Basically he's just saying what ta'd and what's close to.....no sugar.

I realize that, hence the edit. For some reason couldn't delete the post. I read a bit much into your post.... No need for the chest beating as to how we got our current contact.

Edit: vocabulary is everything, you could have said 'only' sections 5 & 23 TAd, thus implying your dissatisfaction with progress, but you didn't. Most pilots I fly with are displeased with the progress. Are you? And I couldn't give two rats asses when you were hired, I care about where this pilot group is going, not where we were.

Once 9 is TA'd all that's left are the big ones. So we killed two years to start talking Scope, pay, retirement, scheduling, hours of service, and sick leave. Should be able to knock those out in another month no problem. HA!

By chance, do you possibly, maybe, work for the Department of Redundancy Dept.?? ;) :D

Amen, brotha!

Easy sally, maybe by some remote chance we were both answering your friendly shot across bow at the same time ..."smiley,applause,thumbs up"

So I hear JetBlue has 19 of 31 sections TAd, we have 20 out of 31. We have been negotiating for a lot longer and we already had a CBA to work off of. Even JBs very anti-union mgmt seems to be more willing to get a contract than our management.

I also heard they have 18 days of negotiating in Feb.
