Hope not - Hang in there and Good Luck.
It is possible, I have heard people suggest it in the past. Some of the timid suggest that we shouldn't push too hard because management might just take their ball and go home. It is possible I suppose, I just don't see it unless they have been bluffing us for the last few years. As it is I wouldn't expect them to be able to organize a picnic lunch-much less a whole new certificate.

I guess a trademark search might work?

Just one more embarrassment to add to the fire.

Allegiant CEO buys Las Vegas Boulevard wedding chapel - VEGAS INC

Look at the bright side, perhaps employees get a discount similar to the "dollar menu" onboard.

Big class of 40-something 80 NH's starting Co. Indoc tomorrow, & GS Mon. That's the big push, plus 17 CA upgrades finishing up in the schoolhouse tomorrow, and another group starting Upgrade later in Oct.

Supposedly a big base-realignment bid coming out on Monday, with quarterly updates thereafter...

And, another sizeable NH class in early Nov.

Why have a displacement/realignment bid in the middle of tons of newhire training and upgrades? Seems like every base has openings at this point.

No kidding. Just when you think we have hit rock bottom and they couldn't make it any more painful here.

I'm sure it's as well thought out as our growth plans when we purchased the 757s... or the Airbus... or Merlot... or opened GRR... or heard the FAA inspection was coming last year... or any of the last few bid results (the last had 3 revisions and still awarded more positions than advertised)....
