Taken together they were strong and positive. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt that he meant profit sharing is off the table. That PS gets us all rowing together. Management and labor.
That's a pretty funny backhand, and I mean it sincerely.
I don't like tweets either, and this discussions shows why. I had to go to the ALPA website to read them anyway. In the aggregate, they're very positive. In terms of the PS, it's ambiguous.
You're sort of leading the charge on this PS thing, just as you were on the Pay Banding. If you're incorrect, we're really not helping our own cause with public histrionics. I understand that many are spring-loaded to assume the worse, but if these guys are actually just doing their job correctly, trying to pre-empt negotiations could be a costly move. We've made them before. I heard a rumor about a guy who leaked something substantial about a negotiating position in a past TA, and ended up taking one of the most crucial items OFF the table.
