A complete straw man argument as there are other ways to give retirement security without handing them back to the company and ALPA. Slippery.
It ain't slippery, its a real question. What does he mean?
That's not just slippery, that's just slimey. First, NWA was unlucky in that we were not up to pattern above DAL and UAL until after 9/11. That's why our
rates were lower. Second, we had significantly better work rules in other areas that moderated the differences in pay
rates. Regardless, this a stupid and divisive comment by someone who should no better. [/quote]
Restoration means a return to previous rates. Did you not get 10% after 9-11 outside of section 6 that many tout? Have those rates been meet in this agreement? If so that is restoring your rates? Serious question.
I'll tell you acl, you have been nothing but a disappointment from the first post I've read of yours. Always politically speaking from all sides of the mouth and duplicitous. The ultimate politician. Getting elected has only made you worse.

See Carl, many issues cannot be decided by politics because 100,000 lives are directly affected by what the MEC decides. That does not mean small bites to make sure you never get fat, but it means that you don't errantly waive your gun because it makes you feel good. It means that even if you politically would vote one way, that responsibility to whom your represent goes beyond your personal politics when you see a real issue. Like it, love it, or hate it, that is what leading means to me.
