Long time Lurker and rare poster. I consider myself fair, and more objective that most. But I must admit that proposal almost made me chuckle. Best Negotiating time of our entire careers and thats the garbage they want to throw our way. The retirement is a total insult. LIke disgusting bad. I just realized we are in for a several year fight. I was hoping early 2016, but We are staring at years, and not months, IMHO. I don't see myself going anywhere else and Im quite happy here.. So I'm not rushing to send out applications but I may buy some stock in AirlineApps and Goldcoast. United just got themselves a ton more of airbus qualified applicants. Im not expecting the world, I want this company to remain highly profitable, and I even willing to let transition go away, gut those number are wayyyyyyy the F off of anything Ill say yes too.
