The old 310 sim will be down for MX to fix the visual. The new 310 sim isn't up yet and I believe they are hedging their bets by getting as much done in case the new sim doesn't come online as scheduled.

I think another hold up on the sim is the approval of the EFB and where they are going to put it. The new sim is supposed to have it.

I noticed the FCIF said keep the questions coming. But I didn't see an avenue. Should I E Mail my questions directly to PC or do you think a phone call is appropriate?

Check with Sean... the "Open Letter to the CEO" strategy usually gets their attention.

A=B, B=C, then A=C: I bet that more people read that FCIF than there are people reading these threads! Also bet that there are more people planning on voting yes now than no.

Where's our union in helping getting the word out regarding what is better for the pilot group? Oh, no wait, they're counting votes...

Your post seemed to imply some connection between Cassel finally addressing the LOA from the company standpoint and info the MEC had. That's what I was questioning. It was really unclear.

And actually, based on previous experience with tax equalization, and the restrictions on accounting firms in the post-Enron business world, no, I don't need to see the numbers. Tax equalization is one of the few good parts of this LOA.

And one more time, just for those who missed the three or four other times I stated this, the LOA is inadequate, and I'm voting NO.
