Welcome back guys!!!

Those getting a call (PM) the ones asking for what number you are, helps with anxiety.

12-24 (maybe more) this yr, they don't think that everyone in the list of FUR will come back.

Hiring in JAN for FEB.

Bunch of OE hrs for NOV-DEC.

The guys on LEAVE have to comeback by the end of OCT, or KAPUT. (dont know how many and if they will come back).

Company still, today looking for a long term gnd School place. (talks were Airbus bldng or the College library that we use for recurrent).

Cheers.

Heard one of the management types in Miramar said the month-month transition is the way it is, because of a language change from the draft to the final, arbitration set for beginning of October. Anybody have any info on the change? I was joking that DRAFT must be some new generic toilet paper... Guess I was right.

Seriously though, anybody know what changed? MEC said no changes.

You sure know alot of inside information. Just to let you know because I know more than you, it won't the airbus bld.

Hey recall dudes, look at how the new contract has extremely low junior capt rates, you can thank sailor for that!!! They engineered it that way so they can get more compensation....The pie is only so big you know, but don't fret, just be lucky to have a job...

Yeah, I heard that mgmt's excuse was that the union "changed" the language before the company signed the documents.

Two thoughts on that:

1. The notes from negotiations and the testimony of the NMB member(s) present should tell with little doubt the intent of the language.

2. Even if the union had some master plan to change the language... they signed it, PERIOD. Isnt that what they pay their lawyers for? You're gonna tell me that they signed something as financially dependant as Sec 25 of a new CBA without proofreading it first.... YEAH RIGHT!

...bottom line, they did it the RIGHT way first, which clearly shows intent. Only after realizing they were completely screwed did they decide to do it the old way. I have spoken to many pilots that saw their line with the correct amount of trip drops, and then a few days later were left with 5 on, 1 off, 5 on, or something like it.
