"When mx settles, our contract will be wrapped up in 15 minutes." At least someone out here gets it. Mx will not be settled by end of year as I have stated long time ago, while some out here think they will have an AIP by end of year, just because GP mentioned it. Not going to happen. Too much ask on the scope side from company, insurance will also be a huge stickler with mx, as well as the D+7% as promised by Parker, and of course "full restore" of all takes from the 2003 BK contract with no snap back clauses. With GP moving in maybe he can get it all done for the mx group, as he is the only one I have seen or heard screaming about the promised D+7%. The mechanics also have the big equity issue still hanging out there that will have to be discussed and agreed upon as well, there is a lot more to the mechanics side of talks than most fleet members actually know about. And yes scope has been discussed weez and Tom, their Aug. ask is too huge for an AIP by end of year. I really do hope GP get's it moving for the mechanics group and really hope for an ILC for you guys.
Good luck with the election vote Tim.
