I don't need individuals representing me that are looking out for the companies profits...THEY pay alot of people, quite well, for that. I'm looking for a representative that will try to eke out the last friggin' penny for me, that the company will take from someone else. I don't give a crap if it's a manager, a driver, a mechanic, customer or friggin' shareholder!!! They just raised the GD dividend, again. And, you're trying to tell me to suck it up? The company's margins are down? Give me a friggin break!! You're suppose to represent our interests!!
I'd bet that the increased dividends were probably covered by the optimizer.
I would agree. Not trying to bust Albies chops; just trying to point out that I feel his job here is to fly and represent his block. Everyone could come up with their own analogies, but it is irrelevant. Our job as pilots is to fly like a pro, and our job as union members is to realize that the Company looks out for their bottom line, sometimes at our expense. Believe nothing from them until verified.
