I do not think that the industry is out of the wood yet.

All it said is that they will not enter CH11. I think that is gutsy statement. If no one shrinks or enters that will be though for all the players.

That is why you see a lot of people from all levels of the seniority list wanting this. It has gone too far, and there will be major movement starting about contract time and not ending for 20 years or so.

Add to that, there is too much being taking from to top, middle and bottom for anyone with to stomach. We need to pull the flying up to mainline. I think that the managers are doing that themselves, but a little nudge might be necessary too.

In my opinion it will be dead the day they actually tear down number three.

A little different topic.....This may be a dumb question or one that has already been answered, but is that Vacany/Surplus posting in Ecrew only for the DAL North guys?
If so why is it showing up in my Ecrew?...I'm a DAL South guy

Thanks for any info guys.

It is for their fist AE. The 744 guys are past BP5 so they are in DBMS. It is a North AE only.

Thanks ACL. That's kind of what I figured but I wanted to be sure and I couldn't find the information on my own....

Would anybody notice a difference if they tore down number three? Maybe a few more pigeons, maybe less.
