They’re going to start with Hawaii. So everybody that listens to open mic night on Oceanic chat will get to hear all the latest conspiracy theories and hate filled rants. Probably some meowing too. (sigh)

The best thing that has ever happened to me in a 20 year career in professional aviation:

I planned my vacation a year before to land right during the voting period at my shop. I never had to fly a line trip when voting was open.

I think I’m going to live a lot longer because of it.

My favorite event from recent memory was when Aero Crew News “scooped” the pay rates we’d agreed to.

Except it was literally the Alaskan pay scale, and nobody in the room was talkin’.
 
There has been radio silence this week except for a fb post yesterday about the NC going 10 hours for what was to have been a 2 hour meeting, and that there will be an update tonight.

Previously there has been a lot of comm from them about getting the implementation nailed down to avoid the mistakes of last time. This is a complete rewrite of the contract so it is really important to get that and the definitions done right so we don’t wind up with something so flimsy like what we have now.
