Default Regret it yet?

The global economy is in a free-fall, and airlines just imposed the largest cut to ticket prices since 1995.

And we turned down a $1.1 billion raise. Still think we'll get a bigger raise soon? Still think Wall Street and the company needed the TA?

I know, we showed them. The status quo is better. We still have our profit sharing.

Until we don't.

I don't expect anyone to admit it yet. I'll stand by for more chest-thumping. But I bet the doubt is creeping in just a little.

I'll check back now and again. In the meantime, carry on with recalling anyone who ever got you any gains.

FedEx Negotiating Committee certainly saw the writing on the wall.

Let's see if their MEC & pilots are smart or if they are rocket surgeons like Delta pilots were.

I think we need a reprint of FTB's epic post of the things we have vs. don't have if we had passed the TA.



No. I don't regret anything.

No regrets here. No chest thumping. I couldn't swallow the concessions. What part of I'd rather continue under C12 did you not understand? Check back all you want.

No regrets here either. The sick leave, OE trip pulls, and allowing even more large rj's to be outsourced were too much to swallow. I felt like we were getting screwed on the joint venture scope also, but now I'm starting to think we screwed ourselves anyway with the grievance settlement.

Not at all. How many times do us "rocket surgeons" have to tell you "moRon's" that it wasn't about the money?

Forget about the Chap. 11? The Co. will ask for pay cuts, when they can regardless of TA 12,15. My era had a contract.........Pffft!

The only people that should have any regrets are those who voted for Obama

What does voting for Obama have to do with the Chinese stock market crash affecting World markets?
