For those not there, Jeffy's answer was that his contract negotiations were a lot less complex compared to the union's, and that his pay/benefit package is based on the median of the Fortune 500 companies. His peers.
Be interesting to see if we applied the same formula to us, where we would come out. Something tells me it would be more than they want to pay us.
Thanks to you and all those that showed up today. On such short notice, it was a very good turnout. Officially it was 52 signed in.
This is the biggest bunch of lawyer speak BS I've ever heard. Why is he comparing his contract to Fortune 500 CEO's?? His peers?? No. His peers are AIRLINE CEO's. Let's compare his contract with his REAL peers. Hell, he won't even acknowledge that Southwest, FEDEX, and UPS pilots contracts should be considered in our negotiations but he wants us to consider the CEO of Exxon Mobile his "peer"????? Puh-leeze
