No I read everything. What is put out by the company, by the MEC and on the forums.

It was more tongue in cheek.

Understood. If anyone hears it from TK it isn't true. Been the case for a long time. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Did you finally get into DEN? Because if not a DEN 756 bid would clear out a spot for you.

Yeah, been there a few months now. A couple reserve months and a line once believe it or not.

However, my wife is still waiting to nudge her way up into mecca.

I just had my MV and LOE as well as been sitting seat support for a couple of Capts, so I've had quite the fill of TK gossip.

So honest question here. Who are you getting "gossip" from at TK? My standard answer is, I got nothing. I get all my juicy gossip and lies from the line.

Why not just use the word "vacant". 1 vacant. 3 vacancies.

That makes much more sense than "unfilleds".
Sorry to offend???

That is what they call them in the contract and that is what they are labeled as in the Vacancy Award, so that is what I called them.

To answer your question, yes that is what we have called them at UA for as long as I have been here. But then again that is how they have been referred to in the contract for as long as I have been here as well.

I think the literary types have referred to this problem in many ways as one that just doesn't matter much though. (rose by another name, you say tomato, i say .... etc)

Well I ask as many questions as possible and what I end up with is mostly opinions. Every now and then I get an "I heard". My last seat support was with a management type. He had a lot of views on what was going to happen. But I don't think it's any different than this forum or the facebook group. Or for that matter what Kirby said at the LAX town hall about 756s at DEN. I think it was Kirby, right? Hard to keep up. I mean why would that even be mentioned at a LAX town hall? What good could it actually do, but start the rumour mill? There's more to that than meets the eye. He's a smart man. He had a reason for mentioning it.

Anyway, I'm new to this party. I'm very inexperienced, ignorant to the past and mostly humbled to be a part of it. So I listen, ask questions, learn and every now and then I poke a little fun at all of it. If you don't, it'll drive you mad.
