I've had passengers actually sympathize with me about the bad press. In a lot of places, it is a lot worse than others. Rumour has it AC no longer advertises with the "news"papers in NB because the press was extremely inaccurate.

Today is aparently day 179. We considered putting a calendar on our desk and marking off the days. From this side of the desk, I cannot wait to get this integration over with.

Oh, and that's another thing. I really wish we would all stop calling it an integration...it is an aquisition. AC bailed CP. And AC employees are not going to get anything out of it we wouldn't have gotten from Onyx.

One final word for the day, the pilots are not just negotiating for money. The money they were offered is supposedly very generous, but there are other issues. Like AC's proposal that there be 3-ACs and that they can pay them based on the competition's salaries. I say if we support the pilots, they will fight the battle for us.
