Default Progress this week?

The latest updates sorta, kinda, maybe, possibly hint that the company will be responding to what has been passed to them. Can we expect any fireworks or will this been more of what we've seen in the past?

If there is progress, how might the more experienced folks know what to look for "between the lines"?

Lol, skippy. Somebody told me like 5 million guys are retiring eventually. I guess they'll need us someday.

It's almost happy hour...cheers!

united has a surplus and cant get enough LOA's.
no united pilots recalled to cal until at least summer 11 , if then.

70 seaters to IAH.

nice tranistion agreement--- and the scope pope? thats hilarious-- so obvioulsy he didnt draw up the tranistion agreement language bc THERE SHOULDNT EVEN BE A DISCUSSION ON WHETHER UNITED CAN DO THAT-- IT SHOULD BE PLAINLY WORDED

And you are suprised by this? Can't get any better with this pilot group. I'm quite sure there will be quite enough docuhebags to vote yes on a 2 1/2% pay raise with adjusted scope and long as the A fund lump sum remains intact.

Yes there will be. The PLAN is for management to return to the table and just say NO. So I guess there is a PLAN to have NO PROGRESS.

As a much as I am a firm believer in us all watching out for all parts of the seniority list, part of me would like to see them squirm out a vote of a JCBA with no lump sum entitlement. Enough of these guys have sold out the junior guys for years that it would be poetic justice for them to get a taste of their own medicine where the junior guys sell out the senior ones.

Let me clarify again: I AM NOT ADVOCATING THIS AT ALL! Just the ramblings of a sarcastic pilot this morning.

I will side with the majority and accept what the majority wants through the democratic process but why defend them when they would hang you or I out to dry in a New York minute.

Careful guys. I understand where you are coming from. But there are many good guys that lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in retirement. Many of them were NO voters. Lets just insist on idustry leading in EVERY department, with retro and the loan being repaid, and not get the idea floating around of junior vs senior.
