Mesaba Big Announcement on Friday

[Terry Hunter]

69 seat TP?

Q400's are not allowed under current NW pilot scope.

Okay thanks. There has been some confusion that TP's were exempt from the NWA Scope. Would a 69 seat TP be eligible?

No...59 seats would be ok though.

Our union is locked in a hotel.

Everyone knows how well that worked out last time.

NWAredtail... as already mentioned, your logic is flawed. Add this to your pile of $hit - 2 avros are going to the paintshop this month.

No matter how good this issue might be for some people, I'm still skeptical. I'm not a cynical person, but after my MEC lost my trust at the virtual strike debacle last year, I don't expect much from this this time 'round. All I know is that there will be riots if we're asked to give up something, in order to get something.

G*D DAM!NIT JUST TELL US ALREADY!

A friend of mine gave me a call on the way home from the MSP meeting. Apparently it was just a usual B.S. APLA meeting. They admitted that there was a gag order in place and couldn't say anything about the latest buzz.

I hope someone from one of the other bases heard more of a tidbit.

Ditto that from the company. A friend of mine is in recurrent this week. Spanjers came in today and didn't speak about any big news. When asked, I guess he acted like there was nothing to talk about.
