Now about your point of "payback". You will never teach these guys anything. They hate you worse than they hate their ex-wives. Doug Steenland (ex CEO) was on a jumpseat with a good friend and when asked about the around 1 Billion (with a B) spent on our strike he said "it was the best money we ever spent".

Vote NO if you like, I'll never try and talk you out of it (voted NO on our bankruptcy contract). But if you think you are going to get payback, your sadly mistaken and don't know this species of Shark.....they ain't your down home southern species!

Workrules are everything......And with this TA everyone will be working harder. In a few more contracts, our "workrules" will just be the FAR limit.

As far as going on Strike for a few weeks.....try a few years on furlough and tell me which is harder.
