I had a somewhat cynical thought last night... Everyone was wondering why we had an early profit sharing payout on the 3rd. Some thought it was due to a tax advantage, some thought it was because of wall street un-ease with corporate give away that wasn't to share holders.

Then I noticed that the across the board raises went to everyone not on a CBA about the same time I saw the IAM billboard across from the flight attendant training center.

It is illegal to give money to a group that is trying to organize, but it is not illegal to give money to everyone at the same time.

BTW, I think our opening position should start 4% higher than our current rates when the agreement becomes amendable!

Maybe I am a conspiracy nut and i should put my tinfoil hat back on....
