Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Let’s start off with an update on the Equity Distribution; on the President’s call the International will meet with their lawyers on ways to apply pressure to the IRS with regards to the refund. It has been a very frustrating path, and they hope they can find resolution on this matter.

The Executive Negotiations committee will meet again on the 22nd and 23rd in Washington. They will continue to fight against the company's push to own the scope language. We have historically owned our work, and some of it pried away in bankruptcy. We need to be committed to staying strong and united.

It's fascinating that the company has not put out a video promoting their stance on owning the scope language. Very easy for them to flash money in front of you with one hand and take away jobs on the other side.

New Bus schedule on September 01at midnight so please be cautious on the change. The schedule will be posted soon, two location will still be K19 with one, two, and three lot parking and G/L stops with four and five lot parking to the terminal.

No changes to the fifteen-minute intervals except during peaks with double buses or 00, 05, 10, 15, 20, 30, 35, 45, 50. Stop #6 will eventually be eliminated. Please continue to use the red light at the bus shelter #6 for pick-up and only board bus that is going to a preferred drop-off point.

In this week’s meeting with management, the top discussion is the continued co-mingling of the AA lunch area with Envoy. The company added more seating and a refrigerator to the Envoy lunch area. But we expressed that without the back restrooms being fixed and remodeled this problem will continue. Projects of repairing Envoy's back offices and restrooms remain set. They will refresh the old work-out room to a break area, with no timeline set.

Additional discussions on IAB pier mats, they are still waiting on vendor delivery. Continued debate on IAB/T5 bathrooms with the city, we are looking for total remodeling. The roadway from L10 to M3 the company will discuss with the city on grinding the bumps. Inbound/bagroom power washing scheduling, new T-link performance, and missing airbus water stands on the H-side were discussed.

The company has an ORD Hub page in Jetnet, you can access it by typing in search ORD HUB, then click on it. All information pertaining to our hub is on it and it also has a Question and Answer section. Please use it for all questions pertaining to our bus situation. You will get more direct answers from management.
