That's slick, Alfa. Really slick.

So I guess your assumption is that we all retire at the end of 2017? Did you notice where your "average" rate is at that point in the comparison? (More importantly, did you think we wouldn't notice?)

So (for those of you in Rio Linda/Herndon)... notice that the rate in the "2 yr past amendable" example ends up at $254.22, while the rate in the C2012 example ends up at $206.50. That's going to make a difference in 2018 of almost $50 per hour, and then again in 2019 and so forth and so forth (unless something else is negotiated for those years). Plus, in terms of strategy, the "2 yr past amendable" example you gave also establishes that we are actually working and intend to restore our pay, not establish "reasonable" improvements to unreasonable bankruptcy related pay cuts as the new norm.

I sure hope our MEC is not listening to you!
