P.S. I think we did pretty good in 1998.
NewK,
It is not my intent to bring up the strike in a negative light. It was my intent to show the results that two different strikes (yours and Spirit) produced.
You guys had no choice but to strike. You had a management team that thought they could "win". Your management team was very, very wrong. You guys did good.
Again, I'm not trying to poke a very honorable effort, but to put context into the discussion of those calling for a "fight." In 1998 your contract (and mine) was in a far different place than 4th in the industry with a TA that would take you to first.
Sorry that my post created the impression of an attack.
