Please let your members know there is a new delay form attached to this email. It is lawyer suggested changes we need to make when forwarding the delays to the hearing officer, so it is very important your Captains discard the old delay reports and replace them with this new edition. Delay reports already submitted are good, but Michael might reach out to you for questions.
