He ended with a remark about how the Flex guys would have to work their own deal with mgmt, just like they worked their last under the table good deal. My question is, What is he refering to? And what is there in the changes under this TA that is p****ing the Flex guys off? It seemed very uncomfortable and confrontational from where I was sitting, and as soon as DW finished with his little barb, 5 Flex guys got up and left.

Could someone shed soom light on this? (By the way, I am not quoting DW, this was just my interpretation of the tone and substance of the answer.)
I did not hear DW say anything of the kind that they should go cut their own deal. Period! He referred to times past and their own deal making. Concerning flex's getting landings, under the TA if a flex puts in to flex for a month it can not be denied unlike now where requests to flex routinely get denied. That's what I remember.
