    On December 9, 2005 at 5:00 PM EST there was a conference call between all   

  IBT/CAL local business agents and the rank-in-file negotiating committee.

    The purpose of the call was to inform the local unions and the committee of the 

  tentative agreement reached between the IAM and CAL for the represented flight 

  attendants.

     The call was hosted by Rodney Rhoades, principal officer of Local 19 in 

  Houston, Texas. Rodney has been in communication with Mike Campbell, CAL

  Counsel and chief company negotiator with regards to details of the tentative

  agreement.

     Rodney was told that the company reached its $72M ask from the flight

  attendant group and that, per the IBT Agreement we would have access to the 

  full document.

     On Friday December 16, 2006, members of the committee & IBT economist Norm

  Weintraub will sit down to review the document and to do the necessary costing. 

  Subsequent to that meeting we will provide you with the analysis of Mr.,

  Weintraub as it pertains to the cost savings reached in the tentative agreement.
