Xj Bk Judge To Rule 10/23 At 1:30pm

[pilotdiscretion]

I got $10 says the judge keeps delaying the ruling in a cowardly attempt to avoid making a decision that could kill the airline and keep the parties at the negotiating table.

 

[Yudso]

Nope. That one's dead too.

Another case of not being able to see the forest for the trees.

Wow a lot of people viewing this thread...60.

My prediction: Judge gives the unions authority to strike. That leaves management with 4 days to negotiate "for real" this time or shut it down.

Our MEC does an excellent job of keeping us informed, but it takes a few hours for the e-mails to make it out to us. I clicked on the link for J. Kishels Opinions, and the most recent opinion my browser would show was from 2001, so I'm not holding my breath for finding news there. I think we're all here hoping someone will find the ruling and list it here for us.

 

[othello]

Steven, I hope you are correct.

1:48pm where's the ruling?

 

[TAWS]

XJohXJ,

Scroll down - xj opinions are down the page - still nothing there!

 

[fieldinsight]

As of 1:41 CT, there was no ruling when AP put this story on the wire:

TAWS, thanks. I guess I ASSumed they were chronological, rather than alphabetical. DUH!

I sure hope you're correct. That does make sense too.

Um...I got the humor of it, hence the "rolling eyes" smiley face.

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

K, that's what the Winky is for. Rollyeyes is for exasperation. Unless you were expasperated by that joke. Then I'd go with Rollyeyes, too.

Ya see, it all started back in 19-dickety-four . . .

The Germans had stolen your word for the number 2?

To keep Yudso's sarcasm to a minimum, I'll make sure to use the Winky Smiley next time.

Hotels...

So since there's no decision, I suppose that we could continue to discuss XJ hotels. I miss getting the free $10 cash at the Thief River Falls casino. I think that they stopped giving it away shortly before furlough because everyone was just taking the money and going up to the room. I do know of a few crews that played on late in to the night.

Anyone want to bet that the honorable and brave judge tells his secretary to give him 10 minutes to get out to his car and then hit the send button????

lol. He'll be halfway to Mexico on 35 when he calls her. "Alright Judy, I'm in Oklahoma, SEND IT."

 

[TAWS]

Would he be wearing his 'tache, nose and glasses disguise as he runs to his car?

 

[Turtlesfly]

Or so he can drive his car off the edge of a bridge.

 

[XJohXJ]

Maybe he meant 1:30 AM?

 

[hbrow15]

or 1:30 Pacific

 

[W&BWiz]

It'll be at the end of the workday.

 

[XJohXJ]

J.K. must have learned from the fine tradition of Mesaba FU Fridays!

 

[Turtlesfly]

He learned from watching Office Space . . . "we find it's best to fire people at the end of the day. Statistics show there's less of a chance for an incident."

Isn't that place weird!? I got stuck there once (bad wx in DTW I think). The little restaurant/bar was ok though, except the service was terrible. For those that haven't been there, the hotel is the old officer barracks from the air force base, IIRC. Numerous windows were busted out and replaced with OSB. There are 2 bedrooms and a living room, which sounds nice, but it's not, trust me Everything is just crap and run-down. When you step into the room, it feels like you're the first person to have been there in 20 years.

No you wouldn't be the first in twenty years, I stayed in each of those rooms. Don't believe me, check the bed sheets!!:laugh:
