They want to give 5 Billion to stock buy backs to boost the share price but they don't want to give 1 billion back to us in contract gains as a thank you for your continued hard work?

Well I say, you are entitled to your position....but so am I. I've been here 15 years and have 21 years left...if I stay to 65. This is the first and last chance to get back even 1/10th of what we've given and you want me to be happy with your definition of reasonable? As TSquare said, there are 5 or 6 or 1000 different definitions of what is reasonable. And I'm certain my definition of reasonable is quite different than yours.

You go tell your masters that if this contract isn't ground breaking, some changes are going to occur with regards to our union representation.
Yes, "historic" and "ground breaking" do not meet my definition of reasonable. Nor are your tired, old, threats of changing union representation.

If you have only been here 15 years, then you are in the minority. So keep that in mind as you launch your crusade.
