Interesting telephone call a bit ago...seems the Brass at Air Log had a group of investors down for a Dog and Pony....somehow the Pilot's Union heard of this....took it upon themselves to gather up a Welcome committee at the new Air Log state of the art Gomer Base at Galliano, Lousiana. A local law enforcment official, probably a Jackie Gleason lookalike, tipped the Brass in New Iberia....who had the proverbial cow over the news. The monied gentry got a bus tour of some Chevron site....and the Pilots toting welcome signs were invited for High Tea with a company goon. All this is going on while the pilots are voting on the company's offer for a settlement on the CBA. Rumour has it that the pilots who were not very keen to accept the kind offer of the management are now miffed over the treatment of their brothers who took their lunch break to welcome prospective investors.

I would love to have been a bug on the wall when the sheriff offered up his information......oh, dear me!
