Does this manipulative sale job make anybody angry? It should. Eject the guys pulling this nonsense from ever doing union work regardless of what union survives.
The underlined parts are my emphasis items...and I say to that "puhleeze!"
For YEARS guys have clamored for more DC contributions, and this very message boards has literally hundreds--if not thousands--of posts urging no reduction in PS...until it inconveniences the argument. Now all of a sudden it is "let's compare apples to apples."
Ok, let's do just that...such as the C2K and AA "apples" in which there was/is zero profit sharing. Yes, that apple?
By the way I can't see voting for this TA with the new block-hour metric for JV issues, and for just taking away biddable trips for F/Os, and the magnitude of raising the 20% PS threshold...but I cannot stand hypocrisy, and that post is reeking of it.
