Yep, you're exactly right on that johnso, it's all speculation just now I sure hope I'm wrong and some of these effects are reduced in concert with each other. And honestly, every time you read about this, don't you think, "those clever, clever bastiges! Thank gawd they're running the airline".
I guess I reserve my half-full goggles for rumors, when I'm like a 95% full guy

I'm all burned out for two month's math now, and have already forgotten all this in favor of DTW and Livonia food reviews! My urge to provide a check and balance has been sated.

Online cafe is good for breakfast too, decent sausage/egg/cheese muffins and pre-made with no line for decent price. Also the chicken wings are good there.
Max and Erma's has good salads.

Did you not read a previous post by an LAX based pilot saying they expected to interview (flowthroughs) in Dec. '12, and run classes in early '14? Or that they would need 50/mo. in mid-2014 to staff the 737-9s & 717's?

The rest of your post was blah, blah, blah. Everyone is ignorant, actual quote was about a pig and a fool.

I for one have stated that I didn't think they'd hire (off the street) until late 2015, with classes running in 2016. Now, with the competition being stronger, (e.g. merged AA & UAL) as well as the flying coming back to mainline (i.e. 717's), I choose to remain optimistic about our running new-hire classes next year instead the doom & gloom of everyone saying we "gave up hiring due to increasing everyone's productivity".

Why is that FERD doesn't frequent this site much anymore? Enjoy your last half of glass of whatever it is you're drinking, mine is still half full.

Such are the collectivists and their "greater good" illusions of "democracy" (which they don't really even understand we aren't).

Anyway like someone said, if we are copensated enough we can keep it. If someone wants to restore it on their dime, we can demolish the gate portion and still get 85% of the super premium alleyway we're building (still haven't bought off on that concept but whatever).

Heck maybe we can kick in 10% and turn it into a kick tail sky lounge.

Correct. It's what I was referring to. Near 50% in May and projections on both sides of the Atlantic after that. No contractual trigger for compliance until 2015. Plenty of time for a 12 month look back to get within that .25%.

Also just think, compliance as required by the PWA is in March of 2015, merely weeks before Section 6 openers. I bet if we do not see a contractual extension that the non compliance grievance and subsequent arbitration could very well get wrapped up in new TA.

Coney Island (express on the south end). Ham 'egger for breakfast. Gyro for lunch. Both awesome, both huge, both around 5 bucks.

This is great news! Easy fix. Now all DALPA has to do is invoke some of its "constructive engagement" with the company to alter the wording such that ALV +15 applies only for reserves called out for Pacific 12-14 day trips. Nothing could be simpler.

Gosh, and we thought domestic reserves we were going to get hosed. Silly us.

Diegos, which is directly under the South end train stop (around gate 18) has some great take out salads. They are not the typical airport salads (6 inches of lettuce underneath 1/2 inch of the good stuff) but are actually very substantial . The Santa-Fe Chicken salad is my favorite and they also give a discount.

OK....I'll ask. What happened with the 747 rumor? Was it complete BS?
