JH is waiting for the last member of the merger committee to arrive and verify the list. When all three members approve, it is then deemed "certified." This is not JH holding up the list intentionally as people on others message boards are already starting to assume. It has been quite entertaining to read though.

Also, all committee members are back on the line. It sounds like one member could not get out of a trip, and it finishing up tomorrow night. The merger committee is hoping to have the list officially done by midnight after the third member reviews it. Remember, there is a bit of a staffing crisis going on here and things like this DO happen.

Too bad JH couldn't pick up the trip for the committee member. It's funny to think we are just a few Jr. Mans away from the list being done sometime in July.

If only there was some technology that would allow people to exchange information such as an excel sheet in a timely manner. I hate that people have to fly half way across the country to open up their laptop and pull up an excel file to say "looks good".
It will be my new quest to invent some sort of way to get an excel file from A to B so one could open up such a file from a distant location.

I have an idea. Let's make a series of tubes for information transfer... quickly, call the patent agency! Lightning in a bottle.

there is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the SLI Zone
The pilot flying is an FO.
Guys, I spoke with JH personally last night. He is hoping to have the list completed by midnight tonight just as soon as the third member is able to meet up with the rest of the group. He does not arrive in Memphis until 1030pm tonight, so it may be a little later than that. An hour and a half is a short time to verify 1300 names. All these rumors going around about the committee intentionally delaying the award is just plain stupid. We will have a list soon enough, people just need to calm down and worry about it when it arrives.
Also, Bloch has been kept in the loop every step of the way by the committee.

Well I assume it doesn't matter because he's on the trip already, but I would have thought you all could have been a little more proactive than this. We'll just keep sitting tight, twirling our thumbs, waiting for the merger committee to get this all done.

For what it's worth I don't think the committee is intentionally delaying anything. I think JH would be released of his position at this point but your MEC has decided it's not worth the further delay. Pinnacle leadership is making the best of a bad situation they created by letting JH run the show on this list. He has had 9 months off with pay, in contrast, I don't think the Colgan guy even had a day off with pay to manage the list. He was the wrong guy at the wrong time. Meanwhile we all get to sit around and think about how much money our combined ALPA bill is going to be for repayment to the company for absolutely no substantive work done. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zip.
We're just pissing that due money away. This is so disappointing.
Lets get something straight here guys. Bloch wanted a list that was effective 6/1. 6/1 was yesterday. The merger committee received the list from the company around 4pm yesterday. It is a different situation here at 9E than at Mesaba/Colgan. Mesaba is not hiring, therefore not adding people to the list. That list was then easy to publish as there were no changes from a week ago. Pinnacle and Colgan are both hiring, and therefore the list is rapidly changing. The Pinnacle list is much bigger than the Colgan list, therefore it will take a little more time to verify its correct. As I said earlier, the third member of the merger committee finishes tonight. Thats one day after the company provided the list. It really shouldn't be a mystery why the company would not approve leave with our current staffing situation.
As for the twirling our thumbs comment, had the Mesaba committee not challenged our date of hire, we would have had this list a week ago.
All this extra money being pissed away over an additional couple days?? I'm not quite sure where you are going with this one. If anything, the Mesaba dispute has "pissed away" more time and money than this.

Mesaba has an FO class beginning Monday. They have been conducting interviews for the past month. I believe Mesaba IS hiring.
....unless I misunderstood you. Using JC on the iPhone is still new to me.

Yup, class starting Monday, and there's another class already going that started a few weeks ago.
Do you sit back and do nothing when you see there is something obviously wrong?
