Looks like bad news for those in the pool... I could be in my current position indefinately.
They actually halted talks at least two weeks ago, but this is the first "official" word that the early concession talks were done and the pilots would wait to re-enter talks in Mar '04 based on the Mar '05 expiration date.
Nothing but rumors from Alaska guys that I fly with at TCM.
Anyone with any real "news"?
i.e. Why suspend the talks and move to full contract talks later? I thought they agreed to enter into full talks early because of the company's request for pay cuts? Do the pilot's as a group still believe that arbitration is a loose situation for pilots, or have they changed their tack? Any hope of starting class before the contract is settled? If not it will be another 18 months.
Thanks.
Merry Christmas to all!
