You mean like trying to keep them from giving away BKO? Gee, I have no idea how giving away BKO could sow discord between the domestic and international fleets. (heavy sarcasm)

Student lines, anyone? I can't wait to see how the language works on that one. How many more grievances will we lose? How many times will our own contract administration say "that's not how that really works"?

Wake up and small the coffee. The FO NC chair is not going to get it done, until he gives away the store. I am sure the company celebrated when he was named NC chair, as they knew the concession stand was open.

We were played by the company and SW7D, and now we will suffer the consequences. How long after the contract until those block reps and union officers are offered cushy management positions? There is a reason we have talked about prohibiting that for 10 years after union service, but it never happens. It's kind of like Congress and stock trading. They say they are against it, but they never pass a rule against it. People in those offices consider themselves above the average line pilot. In fact, most of them never intend to return to the line, so they don't have to live under the contract that will come out of all of this. You know, the one the rest of us will be forced to live under.

This is just like what happened to George Sees, and we didn't learn from our past mistakes, because the majority is too young to remember, and too lazy to read history.

I thought we were going to have a TA before December? Seen any progress lately? How long has the company been sitting on ALL of our supposals?

I am sick and tired of people beating up on the 5, I guess now 4, who tried their very best to warn you.
