Anybody else think Robin and Marty are lying about the January financials? 4th quarter profits and 2016 profits still finished above forecast. Making it sound as if the sky is falling because January looks to be lower than normal, and then saying we have to trim flights seems a little odd? I think they don't want to pay us, and this is there way of saying we should keep working with this ****ty agreement or we will have to furlough?
This absurd made up doom and gloom looks to be a very childish and an illegal tactic to make us settle for less. Nobody at the investors call on Thursday could explain why it was lower than expected. They gave no reason except weather and the holidays were the same week, leading to less travel? They knew the holiday dates years ago, and all of a sudden, Easter in April not March may lead to even less revenue?
I think they are trying to Jedi mind trick us into taking less money than we deserve! I say, **** the juice and wear the lanyard! I would rather risk furlough, than take less money. I am also within 100 from bottom, and not a captain making 12 yr pay. My 53/hr is pretty ****ty, so not sure how it could be any worse. Screw management...let's get what we deserve!!!
