But, even with that said, can I vote twice?
1. Staffing issue is solved. 717 deliveries end in December, no E-190's so hiring drops to about 40 per month. IOE trip drops will be cut by 60-70% just on that alone.
2. Why would they care?
3. They are going to give the other employees big raises soon and cut their profit sharing, so only 12,000 employees get huge profit sharing checks. Our contract does not cover the other employees.
What other leverage do you have?
We already know Bartels tried to blame Anderson for the failed TA and Anderson stuck it right back in his face. Anderson is done with this MEC until the witch hunts/lunacy ends; that alone gets you well into 2016. He told the MEC to strap in for the long haul which is what set Bartels to getting red faced. He needs the money to pay off that expensive house in San Diego. Woops.
