Default Prediction on SLI release

We are down to the wire on the release of the SLI. make your prediction on the when and how the results will be released.

I am betting a release via a joint email/statement at 5:30 EST on Dec 8. Email signed by Moak and Stevens.

I agree, except e-mailed to the MEC's at 1300 EST and published on each MEC's respective web board at 1400 EST.

Not sure about the joint statement the next day, that might take a day or two longer.

Anybody know if the negotiators met over the weekend? If so, I wouldn't rule out the (remote) possibility of a "delay by mutual agreement".

Even assuming the arbitrator hands over the list on Dec 8, I'd be surprised if it was released to the pilot group prior to the conclusion of the Delta MEC meeting on Dec. 10.

Hope I'm wrong.

Supposedly they met over the weekend and missed a lot of good football (God Bless 'em). Be on the lookout for super seniority for those pilots who live in Gainsville, Florida or Norman, Oklahoma. Anyone know a realtor in Gainsville?

I'm guessing it will be released via email (and then the web in a few nanoseconds) within a few hours of being received by the respective merger cmte's, probably before 1730 est.

Don't expect a joint release, maybe a letter by both MEC Chairs on unity, moving forward, one great airline etc., unless the award is considered too lopsided.

I doubt that. There is a NWA MEC meeting that does not end till the 12 if you are going to wait for one MEC to meet you have to wait for both. I don't think that will happen.

We got an MEC update last week that said the award will come out Monday but the merger committees may not get it that day based on delivery method, i.e. snail mail vs. email. Also the award may not contain the actual list so it would have to be constructed.

I think our MEC is trying to prepare everyone for a delay, but I think there will be pitchforks and torches out front of the offices if the don't release the list quickly.
