We had a long meeting today with the top three people at one of our Gulf Coast GCCF offices. At this point, we believe that they are all solidly on our side as far as getting "casino" claims approved for final payment. These are input people, not decision-making people, but their support is very important. They will definitely have the ear of the decision-making group coming in later this week. There was some scepticism early, but presentation of the Bill Mulvey first draft and the letter from our General Manager seemed to turn the tide. This group recommends waiting a few more days before submitting final claims, so that we can interact with the new group of advisors coming in. We will be checking daily with the office to ascertain when this will be. Earlier in the day, a representative from another Gulf Coast GCCF office also recommended waiting. He said that we will be receiving packets in the mail outlining our options in "10-14 days". This will be an automatic mailer for all those who have filed for emergency claims.
There was a meeting among co-workers last night. One gentleman has produced a very compelling chart comparing his '08, '09, and '10 bi-weekly paychecks. He shows a sharp decline instead of increase for "tourist" season, and a return to normal when the blow-out was capped. We charted our own checks for this year and show similar results. We intend to present all of this to Bill Mulvey, our new liasion to GCCF. There is no time-line yet, but we will be pressing hard for timely resolution.
