It was my understanding that this was pretty much do or die for the AFA, in that a loss at DAL was going to nearly bankrupt them.

Anyone know if that's true?

It will be interesting to see if their challenge bears fruit. I know that on their DAL website they are saying they will challenge it.

I know they cannot have a card drive, but I do not believe that precludes IAM or an independent from trying. Correct?

Anyone know if the other employee groups have the same health insurance options and costs as the pilots?

What do (did) the NWA FA's have?

I remember new Coke...it was nasty. An aberration of everything Dr. Pemberton/Candler intended. A flop. But I can't stomach Diet Coke and couldn't even finish my regular Coke the other day - tasted like drinking pancake syrup after four years as an avid CokeZero drinker.

Coke Z is really pretty good for washing down a Chick-fil-a or some rings and a chili dog from the Greasy V.

Any of you 88A's been through the MD90 transition lately? I've got that coming up - just curious what the day was like.

Default MD90 Pay

Anyone know if the union is working on the 88/90 pay rates? Seems odd that you have 75/76, 737/738, 319/320 all having one rate but not the 88/90. Whats the update? Anyone?

Sorry if this has been covered..I missed about a week and saw that equated to 100+ pages so I skipped ahead!!

My experience also. Nine out of ten crews have been great. There have been a few bitter pills along the way.
