Captain Malone has stated many times that there is no reason why we shouldn't have an agreement by then.
I agree. Management can negotiate very quickly when they choose to.
What we have so far is another handful of dust. A couple of weeks more of our willingness to work together with management and share in the success we created.
If there is no progress, then the gloves need to come off. Picketing to expose their greed. Their selfishness. Picketing to let the world know we have suffered enough. That we will not sit idly by while our execs waste billions more on stock buybacks to make themselves rich while our bankruptcy concessions remain in place.
If our executives cannot share in the success we created, theirs is a lead we cannot follow.
American Airlines Doug Parker learned the hard way about profit sharing. Parker says it over and over now. Happy employees are the only way large airlines can prosper.
I hope for the best. I hope Ed chooses honor and honesty.
40 days to go. Our patience is running out.

I do too! But remember, Ed's got enough money to last him 50 life times. I can guarantee he sleeps well but what I cant guarantee is him doing the right thing. With all the money and security he has padded himself with, what is his incentive to do the right thing? My opinion is he probably thinks we, pilots, are a nuisance and he would rather squash us then do the right thing.
I am ready for the squabble..
