But since you don't seem to grasp it, I'll help you out: While what has happened to this industry is awful, to compare it to rape is just plain stupid. To say that management wishes for a tragedy such as 9/11 is even more stupid.
OK, Smarty pants. "What happened to the industry is awful". Is that better? But you know what?...Guys like Tilton, Smallszak, and Arpey have made out like bandits since 9/11 haven't they? The industry is and always has been cyclical with gains and losses on the part of labor. Not so much for airline management. It's pretty much been a steady GAIN for them. Let's face it, when the price of oil escalates, terrorists attack, or any other "force beyond the company's control", they (mgt) will take full advantage of the opportunity to cry for consessions. That is when they have leverage. Do you agree or am I still being "plain stupid"?
