It seems like a very odd speech. It is very defensive.

forgot to bid, that's what I thought! Holy hard sell! This TA is unacceptable.

I'm a habitual yes voter. Yet, I'd keep the current contract.

Mike Donatelli's focus seems to center on pay rates, to the exclusion of EVERYTHING ELSE. The Devil is in the details. This TA is riddled with gross, unnecessary concessions. He doesn't seem to get it.

-Sick Leave concessions
-Joint Venture concessions
-Scope concessions
-Profit Sharing concessions
-Productivity concessions
-Does not address re-route limitations (ie premium pay)
-Drops a bomb on FO's (LCA robbing your already scary bid package)
-Attempts to pass off a .25% raise as 6%
-No increase in vacation weeks
-Paltry, almost insulting, increase in per diem
-Comes in the face of a 5B stock buyback
-There's more, but I'm getting angry again

This is not what we asked for, Mr. Donatelli. Sometimes you have to stand your ground. No contract is better than a concessionary one. Yes, it IS concessionary. And, no, I'm not referring to the underwhelming raises.

The Devil is in the "other" things.
