BINGO. What he said is spot on. I gotta laugh when he says he needs “timely cost saving measures”. YHGTBFSM, Gary. What comes around goes around.
There is ZERO reason to entertain concessions when ultimately it will not stave off furloughs and will only set the starting bar lower if we ever end up in bankruptcy court. Have we not learned our lessons from the past for crying out loud?
He IS double posturing indeed. I fully recognize that we are still very firmly not out of the woods but concessions aren’t gonna do much to help with that and will be a b!tc7 to claw back after we come out the other side.
