Steering Committee Update

The process continues, and we are now in day three of proposal review in this final session. It is obvious the committee is starting to come together. We have reviewed many Articles with only a few to go. When the proposal is formalized and given to the Company it will be available to the membership.

The Negotiating Committee was informed that we will meet with the Company April 14th in Chicago. The first session will consist of the Company's state of the airline presentation.

The Testing Committee met with the Company this morning and they felt good progress was made.

On another subject, please be careful in what you view on the Companies computer network. Everything you type and view is stored to use against you if something inappropriate is found. Also be careful with refusals of direct orders. There are a few things that Arbitrators look at as taboos. Among those items are theft and gross insubordination. Only if there is a compelling reason will an Arbitrator return an individual to work if they are guilty of these infractions. Please don't give the company an easy reason to fire you.

That's all for now,
Bob
