Embarrassed! I live in a part of Phoenix surrounded by USAirways, UAL, SWA, American and Alaska pilots. Even their wives are making fun of this joke of a TA.

DALPA just signed their termination with this concessionary TA.

-->My favorite spin from the chairman's letter for the upcoming set up is "difficult economic and negotiating environment."<---well it looks like you better negotiate and work harder.

It's our turn now because we are up to bat now. You don't step into the batters box thinking, "Hey. I got the game-winning hit yesterday, let someone else do it today."

If we are going to follow, or get out of the way, we shouldn't have been negotiating in the first place.
