At some point the crusty old farts have to let go and give kudos when it's there slapping them in the face. Doesn't mean we trust without verifying but it's beyond sickening seeing the same old negative remarks from the same old pessimistic stooges. I keep saying to those that retired, go away and do just that - enjoy retirement. What this workforce needs now is continued positive momentum and we do NOT need sourpusses that have no reason to give their opinions when they no longer are employed here. We have about 5 more years of those jaded guys going out the door. I'm hoping they can find a way to come to grips that UAL management and ALPA can put us in a better position. For now, it's no more shrinking to profitability and no more full section 6 negotiations at one time, which gets dragged out for years and years. Gotta get back to my real life with a really hot chic that makes really good fish and I don't need a poster to stare at one on the wall!!
