PDT/MDA merge

Not sure about this, but in regards to the flow UP agreement. If certain MEC's would get their head out of their collective *SS's..... LOA 91 as it sits, simply states in a seperate paragraph, non-inclusive of MDA, J4J or any of the other BS that frigin Alpa has dreamed up. It states that as vacancies are open at Mainline those on the CEL list will have the Oppty. to flow UP. I would imagine the rethoric that has been thrown around about, well now it doesn't exist due to MDA no longer being around, it doesn't exist because LOA TBD hasn't been negotiated, etc etc.... this could be concluded via arbitraion/grievance...something. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any conflict resolution sections in any of the LOA's...though I'm sure there is something regarding expediated arbitration, somewhere. Needless to say, it's obvious the AAA MEC is trying to shift shape what is supposed to happen, depending on the current political wind, and who wants to leap to National. Maybe informational picketing in DC in front of alpa would work??? Along with a teamsters rep. sitting on the sidewalk handing out cert. ballots?

Yepper! And tell me where you ran off too. Everytime someone leaves PDT its like a scene from 'An Officer and a Gentleman'!!! You know the part, she is working in the Sweat Shop and Richard Gere sweeps her away!! And the Chick yells!! "way to go Paula"!!!! Why do I get that Vision everytime!!!! Come on Roger, Come and Bail me out!!

I am currently flying an MD-80 for Midwest Airlines based out of Milwaukee WI. It's a pretty decent gig. Lot's of good memories back at the old PDT. Hopefully good things will be happening there real soon.

Ok, WSurf. Ill come in and take you away and bring you into SkyWest. But just so you know, no matter where you go there is always a ton of bull5h1t. Its just that there is less of it as you get to better airlines.
