OBTW....I wasn't NW....and what the Tankrsley group did was wrong. Who paid for (your) Cobra? Yea the guys that thought it was the right thing to do. They coulda said....furloughs, tough tata's ...no problem....they have been around for ever ....deal with it.....about the same attitude as you exhibit here. Glad we didn't do that.....I'm also glad we terminated the B-scale even thought I spent just shy of 5 years on it. Fortunately the majority of the group isn't as short sighted as you. .Have fun wallowing in your misery.
The only thing you can accuse me of is throwing out a COLA to PBGA/frozen plans to see what folks thought . I stated that the MEC over-reach was grossly inappropriate in the last round. The cost would be negligible....about like the Cobra benefits.
This whole thread was started to discuss the pensions and DZers. Thought that was what I was doing....it seems to have struck an emotional nerve.
Oh, here comes the parade of guilt. Oh no, you "sacrificed" a tiny bit of your $175k to make sure your union brethren on your street didn't go bankrupt paying medical bills. How magnanimous of you. And the "I had a B scale so you owe me" is tired too. You did it, hopefully, because it's frankly borderline immoral to have a B scale on property. You know what I'll never say to new guys in 20 years if we ever manage to pull in RJ scope? Oh, you need to agree with me that I need more money because I was very kind to you to get rid of RJs. I could have taken a huge pay bump but instead chose to give you a job.
