Mark, aren't you out on LTD, never to return? If so, perhaps it's time to back away from drudging up the past, as the fact is that you didn't make out so badly.
Nightflyer, you say:
But since there are guys on property that had received that $25K windfall, way back when, wouldn't it be wrong to give them another $25K? I mean, they'd still be $25K ahead of you. Now how fair would that be
Seriously, you guys need to remain united and shout down those who are trying to fracture your unity.
Seriously, you are the kettle calling the pot black. You tell Mark to go away, at least he is still on the seniority list. How long have you been retired yet are still lecturing us on our contract?
Your quote above is where someone might get the idea you want to give the older guys another $25K. Thats not what was suggested by Nightflyer that would cause him to vote no. He means, and you probably know this but are acting obtuse, that everybody ought to get $25K when they turn 53, just like the guys who did in the 2006 contract. Nobody who already got it would get another, but those of us who didn't would when we turned that age. Simple enough for you?
