Somewhere they say is an audio version with a lot more expletives.
So as someone else said, maybe the cops were there to protect the pilots from the Chairman instead of the other way around?

Actually a PEB is only a few months in duration. Its the least of our worries. The only real "risk" is being "parked" by the NMB, which should only happen if we are being unreasonable.
We
just got the OE trip pulls back not that long ago by company agreement. Kinda hard to say simply keeping them is unreasonable. Besides the company just agreed to 1.1B in added value over 3 years. They always tell us how big the pie is and its up to us hw to divide it, etc. So as long as we stay in that area of spending or slightly less, its really hard to claim "unreasonableness" no atter how we try to divide up the pie among us.
Its completely unreasonable to claim you need to dicipline pilots for non verifiable illnesses when the federal regulations require us to self ground for many, many illnesses that are not third party verifiable.
Its unreasonable to ask us to change a 50/50 capacity based production balance, that's defined as 48.5% anyway, that the company had no intention of ever honoring. Its also unreasonable to expect us to further fix DCI staffing issues in order to pay for lift we already own.
They agreed to 1.1B in added value over 3 years, and we
have to assume that is 100% accurately costed out, right? So no concessions in the most profitable period in industry history while they are blowing many, many billions on flash in the pan long term ineffective peak value buybacks, and we'll give back 100 Million dollars to the company or to charity and keep current book and put one Billion into pay only. It saves the company 100M over the TA, all things considered, according to the company, as long as they properly costed everything, which of course they did, right?
Sounds pretty "reasonable" to me. It saves them 100M dollars over what we just agreed to. Done. Easy button. Reasonable.
