Is this the sort of "professional and civilized" behavior you were referring to a few pages back?
Your post is condescending and frankly not accurate regarding the size of the airlines and the pay structures. Add to that the fact that the TWA proposal was not for date of hire and you really have stated nothing of substance.
People need to tone it down a bit on both sides of the argument. You keep making these claims of always taking the high road while lobbing in cheap shots of your own. You can't have it both ways.
