When I first saw that "contract comparison" mostly of bankruptcy emergency 9-11 crisis contracts I really thought that nice color brochure was from management trying to manage our expectations. When someone told me it was a union publication I thought they were yanking me. The fact that it didn't contain AF/KLM JV costs as well as C2K losses adjusted for inflation and many other things really suggests we are being set up to grant another 4-5 year extention of said emergency crisis contract, offset with partial cost of living adjustments branded as a "raise" as we become cheaper labor by the year with nothing done to fix outsourcing except to maybe increase it a little. Yeah those Mitsubishi jets at TSA and those C-Series jets at RAH are really saving our bacon! Were it not for them we would be furloughing more.

Yes I was being sarcastic. But only a little bit.

Watch them like a hawk. Trust but verify. Mostly verify.
