Actually MD10PLT, I felt about like you did in March. Then I saw the committment of the MEC...including the most senior block reps...to make sure that we did everything we could to protect the junior guys in a downturn. I've seen some of the letters they have sent to their constituents when those folks complained about BLG reductions, etc., and I have to say that I have been impressed with the committment to stick together.

Busboy's comment above is spot on IMHO. Its okay to be mad...I'm mad too at times. But its what we do next that counts...

I can't fix the age 60 change or the LOA shortfalls. But I am committed to staying engaged and doing all I can on the issues we'll face the next couple years...including the 2010 contract.
