Add the fact that Jeffro was quoted as saying we'd never get back to 2001 pay rates.
Let's see, with inflation that's actually 2001 pay -~20%, we'll never get back to.
If anyone thinks this isn't going to be a fight.........

What is extremely disappointing are the current "it's all about me" attitudes.
They are the guys that always seem to have an excuse why the group's position doesn't apply to them.
"I have kids" or "my payment is xxxx" or "my pension loss plus my divorce" etc. etc.
That was your decision. And it was your decision to join the group and be unified when you got hired.
Stand by your commitment.

Flew with a really cool guy the other day. He's losing his house and has a wife and 3 kids.
He had the perfect attitude. His basic logic was
"The commitment I made to my coworkers and the union is just like the commitment I've made to my wife and kids.
We adjust to make it work. That has nothing to do with failing in those commitments. If I break the one with union,
I might as well also ditch my family and steal their money. It's the same moral and ethical failure."
