Your ultimatums will disappoint the group by (ironically) continuing those concessions you continually remind us all of.
We are in negotiations. Those bankruptcy concessions will go away once we agree on a new contract. Whining about them incessantly on a message board will not make them go away. And I said earlier, I couldn't care less about Bastian's compensation. I don't control that, I don't negotiate for that, and I certainly don't want my compensation tied to his. You want 10s of millions, become a CEO.
I have an idea for anyone who doesn't like gzsg's posts - don't click on them. I happen to appreciate what he's doing on here and would like to point out the following:
- This is a free, anonymous forum and anyone is free to express opinions within the guidelines set forth by the moderators. gzsg is simply stating facts then formulating an opinion based on those facts. I don't see any "whining" or "tirades".
- gzsg has provided his name on several occasions. He's not hiding behind the anonymity provided by the forum. I think he's got every right to voice his opinion since he's laying it out there. I'd like to invite WhatNow and JamesBond to introduce themselves so that we know who you are.
- I agree gzsg is taking the hard line when it comes to what he wants out of this contract, but it's a good balance to what I see from some who are tripping over themselves in a hurry to advocate what's reasonable for the company, a company that would rather blow billions on fuel hedges, stock buy backs and dividend increases instead of restoring what's been taken from their pilot group.
