What a moron! He takes a 40% pay-cut along with loss of pension and, indicates he'll settle the upcoming contract for 25% raise, AND does not mind a sellout of the junior guys in the process. In the end, he's still down well over 20% from where his wages were pre-bankruptcy, NOT including inflation OR loss of pension! Where DO guys like this come from? What ever happened to "leaving the profession BETTER than when you arrived??? Is it any wonder we're in the mess we're in?
