Robert Isom has been appointed to the point of the spear in dealing with the "situation". I am told he has taken to the task like a duck to water, approaching this issue with "energetic zeal". Just today, an e-mail was sent to ALL CHP's company wide indicating some displeasure with the "compliance" factor on these lanyards and other related stuff. In that e-mail it was clearly implied that IF compliance is not achieved...rapidly, changes will indeed be made until somebody can get the desired result.

Currently CLT and PHL are having as many as 12 disciplinary hearings.....A DAY...each.
Armed with an injunction (and supposedly fines) Parker can and will clean house. The brooms have been issued. Additionally I expect that after LOA93 decision is released, more will fall on their sword. Parker will get the NMB to allow a cram-down, and the rebuilding will begin.
If anybody thinks that the company is not serious about this ....I would politely suggest you could not be more mistaken. 😱
