And the JF "record profits" are a good thing, even if in margin terms they're nowhere close to record, no?
As to the rest, enjoy the 12.84% pay increase January 1, the extra days off, extra vacation pay, etc. I'm sure you would have done better.
Actually the memo says "receiving' in September, not entering service, so that is a delay.
The fact that we did just OK does not negate the fact that we likely could have done much better, but since that chapter is closed you can make the revisionist history call, but of course you knew that would be the case once you got your way.
Yes, thank you for letting me buy my pay increase with productivity that will result in several years stagnation. I'm sure those getting displaced off the 767 and 320 will want to thank you as well. Damn that economy.
Go ahead and say it was the will of the Reps, pilots, etc and those who were in the minority are just sore losers.
More puppet master soma for the masses.
