PITBull and AFA in general! Good work and congratulations. I seem to recall just a few days ago a certain "analyst" predicting an AFA defeat on this. Silly "analyst"!
Seriously, this is a good step forward. I'd be on the lookout for management to come out with some sort of vindictive spinmachine soon that somehow blames company performance upon this AFA victory (perhaps they can blame bad weather on it too).
But we should all take heart and know that as nasty and down-in-the-dirt this "management" group gets, justice can and will prevail, especially if good people work together in solidarity with each other and don't allow whiners and weenies to divert them.
And a question for PITbull (similar to one that was asked earlier by BMIBaby): How are the MidAtlantic f/a position fillings going to be effected by this? What is your speculation? Those of us who were furloughed a long long time ago are quite curious. Going all the way back to the probationaries who were initially summarily terminated by the company on 9/28/01 and later converted to invol. furloughees. And everyone laid off since then as well.
And if the company is having such a hard time filling the slots at their sweatshop in the sky, then maybe it is time for them to make it less of a sweatshop!
In solidarity,

Airline,
Greetings.
I agree.
MAA will be effected . Only the 552 INVOLs were offered first round.
They didn't fill even those 4 month classes, so they will now proceed down the INVOL list starting with Sept 2003, then June 2003, May 2003, Dec. 2002, June 2002, Dec, 2001 and Nov (prob/INvols)2001.
