She ended up calling the CP, refusing to fly any planes that have the bags loaded in CP1.

I mean, this is wrong on a million different areas, as everyone on here knows.

A two year upgrade really does bring out the best in some people - especially on the 'Bus. Those above are just classic.

Agreed. Also we need to stop spreading the 2.5 year upgrade talk, that is ending. Anyone hired in the last 12 months won't see a 2.5 year upgrade. For guys getting on now they are looking at 5-6 years unless we see some attrition or a somehow take additional airplanes prior to 2021.

We're not going to see big gains in 2015,16 or 17. Maaaaybe 2018. Have you been through negotiations before? That's just the way it is, look at the F/As.

The FA's had a leadership problem whom signed two TA's that there membership would not go for. I was not here pre-2010, so I can't speak to the events or tactics but, while I'm not insinuating an easy process, negotiations with the pilots that extend much past our ammendable date leaves a big question mark to investors. With history of a strike and potential insecurity in pilot labor relations, there are a lot of other places to safely invest money right now and the stock would take a beating. They are responsible to the investors now. With indigo gone, and being a publicly held growing company making the highest profits in the industry I don't think they have, nor want to waste resources on a drawn out battle with us.

In other news, we have an efb department now! Got the comply365 (manual manager) login email yesterday.

Thanks Guy! Naw I have no idea what negotiations are like!

Ever heard of sarcasm?

In a nutshell a one stop shop for document solutions (ie manuals) which are kept up to date and therefore, updated on our (soon to be) ipads each time we update our jepps and company materials. Similar to where Jepp handles the updates and all we have to do is sync it, company documents/manuals via Comply 365 are processed in the same manner. Dude Frank is the CTO/co-founder and a great guy. I have only heard positive reviews of the company

Sounds great! I hope they can find a way to keep the bookmarks when updating!

Right, Wall Street would hate pilot labor rates locked in for another 5 years at current rates. What are we going to do to speed it up? Strike? Best case on a release on that plan is a good 5 years... if we can get one.
Mid 2020 look for your MEC to give you the pie is only so big, vote yes or we are in no-man's land speech.
Most importantly, what you are forgetting is that B^3 LIVES FOR THIS SH1T!
