I am sorry for my earlier incoherent rambling.
You're not alone, most of us at Compass think they were nuts, too. In all fairness, management kinda had the loaded gun to their head: they wanted to outsource 100-seaters and the judge just might've allowed it.

Email from the Union....

"Numerous calls and emails have been pouring in throughout the day to NWA ALPA reps and the ALPA office from pilots asking when the seniority list arbitration award will be published. As of 6:45 pm CST, the arbitrators’ award has not been received by the Merger committee. The Communications committee will notify Northwest pilots via FastRead and Code-a-phone as soon as the award is posted on the NWA MEC website."

Thanks for your update, New. It gives me time to get to the liquor store!

Cheers!

J.B.-We have no excuse.

G.D.-Anything I can do to help! Fostering alcohol consumption is one of my favorite hobbies.

No kidding. Spent WAY too much time at Altus-by-the-sea during my USAF career. Is Charlie still running the bar at the O'Club?

Yes, you can still smell the stockyards at Altus and yes Charlie is still running the bar (the highlight of this fine establishment).

I should have stuck with hercs. Looking forward to getting back to the 88 in ATL next month (hopefully, with all this "F word talk starting to get nervous).

Well, we could just come up with our own list, tell the arbitrators to shove it. The more you've been drinking in antcipation of this SLI the more input you have on the new one.

Who's had the most?
