JJ...Give up the "can do it, because it's legal" arguement. What Lorenzo did was legal, what Icahn did was legal, etc. But, I think most would argue that it was greedy. On a much grander scale, of course.

Maybe we should look at it from the point of view of "most people" who would say that "ALL PILOTS" are greedy because of what we and the unions have gotten these companies to pay us because we "don't do anything"....
so for you young "all knowing judges of the world order", who gets to define the term "greedy"?

Maybe it's the 25 year old pilot who is mad at the 40 year old military pilot who is double dipping.
Maybe it's the 40 year old package thrower on the ramp who looks at our life style and says the same about all of us.
Maybe it's the 59 year old that got fired at 50 because he was "too" old.
Maybe it's John McCain because he is running for president "at his age" and taking a job away from the young Barak.
Maybe it's one of our guys who doesn't upgrade when he can because of his desire for "quality of Life".

Maybe you guys should just grow up and try to enjoy your blessed lives "as hard as it is" and let everyone determine their own path to quality of life. Wouldn't that be a novel idea!
