So what's the over/under for Mesaba?

[ReverseSensing]

"Mesaba, can you pick up the speed a bit?"

"Unable. Suggest a vector back around into sequence."

Yea, block or better turns out to always be better. Especially with Jinglepants not feeling any of this pain and continuing with his bonuses. Why doesn't the judge have a problem with this? I guess he thinks that Mesaba can just go down to the corner and replace all the pilots that are going to bail. You know, you have to spend big money to retain the excellent senior management team and labor is expendible.

B. or C.

B. or C.

Ditto

I don't know about "C". Our lously SLT seems hell bent on never giving any ground whatsoever. And why should they? They've all got BK and liquidation proof golden parachutes amounting to better than any pilot is ever going to earn at XJ.

E. Another extension granted, new date sometime in Nov 06

"We wouldn't do anything today, because we need to find out if we have the injunction first," Mesaba spokeswoman Elizabeth Costello said.

WTF?!! If management is so sure we're in dire straights and losing money, why wait?!!! This just proves their imcompetence...... and LIES.

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

Why wait? --> They need to know that both of our hands are tied behind our backs, we're sufficiently lubed, and knocked out by legal rufies before they'll do a thing.

"Kishel is also scheduled to handle Mesaba's request for an injunction on Tuesday."

that cant bode well for labor

 

[Mesabi Miner]

It's funny. They don't even know if they can void the contracts yet. Bold claim from everyone's favorite redhead.
