Why wait?
There is no reason to wait, they won't give us anymore anyway. They have other commitments already.
6 billion in shareholder returns in 3 years = 2B/yr
1 billion in pension funding ahead of schedule = 1B/yr
3.5 billion in debt reduction = 1.2B/yr
All of C2k cost 2.4billion = 600M/yr
*Note B's are 1000 x M's
If we settle now we will be in a prime position to capitalize on 2020!
But if we don't...
We only get 757 averaging bumps every time employees get a raise and 3 months salary minimum in profit sharing. Now projected to 2014 profit plus 1.1 billion with the whisper number as high as 7.5 billion. 2014 was 4.5B.
They are running out of things to spend the record industry profits on.
4/8/3/3 then really get them in 2020.
Please challenge these numbers! The PDF to back it up is on my surface. (and yours too)
