Our government is just as guilty to blame, in fact even more so, for the exploitation of credit and acidic abuse of our banking system.
When you don't establish, regulate, and enforce laws that prevent a thief from stealing, don't be surprised when every joe schmo in a fancy suite takes billions out of the federal governments' coffers under the guise a federal bailout towards U.S. economic recovery.
Sorry for the thread drift, off my economic-government social policy rant.
Anyone have an idea when the PERPS will be offered (Assuming ALPA agrees to the terms from management)?
I'd imagine they will wait until this summer before thinning out the staffing levels, but again that's just a guess?
