(That's what matters to this management group.)
That point has validity up to a point, and we all now that. When it comes right down to it, we will go out there and do the job. We always have, and it won't change much.... for awhile. There will be rumblings here and there, but the vast majority of guys will still fill their lunchbox and go to work. But there might come a time when we are "fed up with it". Maybe ya'll are talking about that time, and I don't disagree about that... when we get there. But right now... today.. we are not even close. I'm still trying to talk about today. gszg is unhappy and wants a statement made telling Mr Anderson that we expect our sacrifices to be recognized and rewarded. I don't disagree with the idea per se, I just think at this juncture it is a waste of time. He and Ed want to whip the pilots into a frenzy and sustain that frenzy until negotiations begin in earnest. Again... imho.. a waste of time because between now and then we have the rest of summer and then football season. And THAT doesn't get us to exchange of openers. The vast majority.. or more importantly 62% will not remain all that interested until we actually get down to cutting bait or wetting worms. And a few malcontents will not affect the stock price. jmho.
