If anyone is thinking the west is going to overwhelmingly vote yes for what seems to be a horrendous TA thus far then they are thinking wrong. MANY of us see the handwriting on the wall and will be voting no. My understanding is the TA gets ratified if the majority of the collective group...

Glucose- You are spot on! For what it is worth, everybody I have run in to at work out here on the West is saying "no". Reasons vary from PBS to the reserve section to just not liking the idea of giving ANYTHING up. We've already lost a few things based on what the west MEC has put out and...

No, we all know what he looks like. He could never go undercover and he wouldn't. I think he is too much of a chicken. I don't watch that show, but I'll check it out. When does it come on?

Amen, Onestep2flt. Amen.

No kidding. A no furlough clause and all.

Not to hijack the thread, but thought some might find this interesting. CO TA is out. Just for some light bed time reading. CO TA highlights

I agree with everything in your post with one exception, your expectation of west voting: "I expect West to vote for an upcoming TA simply because they're starting from a ground zero that is -unbelievably- worse that Easts'. So I am not surprised when a West F/A finds the whole MT discussion...

Let me know how that works out. Been tried out here in the west against how many people? 1 current officer and 1 previous officer. (Lisa and Jeff). They were found guilty but nothing happened to them. No punishment from the ethics committee. The way AFA International handles charges is a...

Oh, I know PBS will be in the TA, my point is don't come here telling me how great it's going to be when we don't even have the full picture. We ALL know that the only version of PBS the sand castle people will buy is the Yugo version. Outside of PBS, I think that there are things that will...

Allowing to build lines to 110 will mean people holding lines before PBS will now be on reserve...those on reserve will be on the street. PBS will result in furloughs....and I'm not the only one that thinks that...there was a big discussion about it between some east FA's when I was in the PHL...

N903W- I'm right there with you! You are so right about the red flags. Hello? Do others not realize this about PBS? And before someone comes on here and tells me the east already voted it in with their last contract, I say so what. The West doesn't have it in ours. They think they will...

Nick, you may very well see lots of west people voting with you. We need to really start a dialogue between the east and west outside of the micro-managed hotlines put out by both parties. I don't trust Lisa, and I don't think I trust Mike. After all his job isn't to look out for the west...

You have my full support along with the rest of the PHX based US Airways pilot group. Anything we can do to help out here in Phoenix, let us know. We (former America West) know full well the evil that is Bill Franke. Anyone trying to jump on a flight, make sure the gate agent lets the captain...

They are junior assigning FA's in PHX now. Something like 20 cancelled flights due to "no available FA's". Lines at the passenger assist counters are out of control. Over 100 sick calls today. Crappy pairings+horrible bids+low morale+some people who really are sick = flight cancellations...
