it may have taken us 15 years (not 30) to go in the right direction but at least we WENT in the right direction, unlike scientology airlines. you seem to forget that when bob six ran CO it was the premier U.S. airline. lorenzo's rape of the company is a relatively recent thing. ALL of that, however, is ancient history for purposes of this pointless discussion.

our "givebacks" were ill-advised as a clear case can be made that the company didn't need concessions. unfortunately, when you have management wannabe stooges running your union, this is what happens. it's a cautionary tale for everyone to think about before voting for "partnership accords" with management; they will only go one way. oh, wait; your whole business plan, employment policy, 5-year contract, low pay and going lower-thing is one GIGANTIC "partnership accord". may you be blessed with the same kind of results we've had with it. BTW, the "givebacks were 9 months ago, at the tail-end of everyone else's givebacks, they weren't "2 years ago". you like to whine about facts; yours are AWOL.

now, roll over, go back to sleep, and don't forget to pray to neeleman before you drop off.
