We used to get a lot of IHG points while on the road.

I'm really glad that this thread was started. I started reading the old one because it had almost 1.8 million views. I started at the end and was pretty disappointed until I saw the really great retirement info. Wow, if you have smart guys like that flying thier, you're lucky. At my frac nobody talks about taxes and investments.

Thanks, like I said you're really lucky to have guys that can explain taxes and investments around. I already down-loaded a couple of suggested books and am looking forward to listening to them. I read the info that started the thread and saw that the union-management relationship is good. I guess that means the next contract should go pretty fast. How long does it usually take to get a contract?

As for how long it’ll take to get a new contract, we are optimistic, but without my magic 8 ball, I couldn’t tell you. The last one took a very long time, so anything short of that is great news.
