Coincidence that our MEC instructed the NC to meet with the company TWO days before giant-humongous excess attempt number 2 closes?
I'll put money that we cave on all the 777 issues, agree to a BLG floor and withdraw our 4a2b grievances, in exchange they cancel the excess that they never wanted to happen due to training costs anyway.
Any takers?

BLG floor costs money. An excess will, eventually, save money. If you are thinking in terms of last year, you are living in the past. The excess bid will take up to 24 months to run and may not get completed before the economy picks up. I'll grant you that. That gives the company flexibility to change or even cancel it 6 months down the road. But I think it will close as is and the first 6-12 months of training under it will happen.
I don't think the ramifications of the economic slowdown the last 4 months has sunk in yet.
