With DAL joining the fray, there is not a single legacy carrier that has not seen cuts, and since Airways is the weakest of the legacies we have seen the most severe. You can feel sorry for yourself, or you can just deal with the reality of the situation. Yeah, these cuts suck, but look at it this way, I am assuming that anyone working at Airways nowadays is fairly senior. So this is making up for all of those years you made higher wages and had way better contracts than those who chose to work at the LCC's. (Cause ya did...)."

If the judge agree's and imposes a 23% paycut, it MUST be on everyone..including the likes of Messrs Lakefield, Crellin and GLASS. No more BS about their sacrafices of 5%. I hope the labor attorney's all are arguing this before the the courts. If the exec's are still rolling in the $$$, this company will get exactly 23% less work out of me.

Speculate all you want, but if ALPA and US's contract amendment is approved by the court, you won't see a surprise 23% cut on top of the 18% agreed to. That's the primary incentive to negotiate now, as opposed to after the S1113 ruling.
And don't keep focusing on the 23%. As I understand it, ALPA pilots gave up other workrules which offset the 5% difference between the 18% paycut and the 23% target.
For example, if the IAM agrees to unlimited outsourcing of heavy maintenance, then some of the justification for 23% paycuts goes away.
And lighten up on Chip already....

I wasn't directed at "Chip". I was merely making a statement about how trust-worthy this management team has been in regards to employee contracts. Which is to say, they have not been trustworthy at all.
I understand what the management team said in regards to "negotiate now and we'll leave you alone later..." But this management team does not keep its word, in regards to employee contracts. Furthermore, I am sure that they come back for more, and when they do, they will have a very valid reason (i.e. Oil now at $65/bbl, or traffic declining because of fare increases, transformation plan not working yet, whatever).
My point is that if you expect this management to not come back for more, that would be pretty naive... Especially when there is a potential loophole to be exploited.

It is my understanding today's ATSB, RSA, and BOA agreement was disclosed in court documents filed today. The agreement requires the company to maintain minimum levels of unrestricted cash at the end of each week and for the court to impose $38 million in union cost cuts or the 23% wage cut.

The spin machine is on high and the load is unbalanced....
"The agreement requires the company to maintain minimum levels of unrestricted cash at the end of each week and for the court to impose $38 million in union cost cuts or the 23% wage cut."
Docket #419 is the proposed new interim financing agreement with the ATSB, BofA, and RSA. Anyone can read it but some choose to assume comments from newspaper articles are always "facts" and spin from there.
An apology to anyone who can quote the requirement for paycuts (temporary, permanent, any percentage) contained in the new agreement.

700,
Once again you are wrong...man you are so quick to judge, sometimes you are mistaken.
The link was to an article that discusses the ATSB loan arrangements and the article talks about those hearings at the OMNIBUS hearings on WED. Those docs were filed late Mon or early Tue....
He didn't say it was discussed today, he said it was filed today...

IN FACT, it was written in the newspaper yesterday, that Mr Bronner (or Lakefield, I can't remember which, and don't have the paper handy) said that the company would be able to maintain agreed upon cash levels and cash flow WITHOUT the labor agreements! When I read that I almost dropped my coffee!700UW said:
