They will not get the earth, the moon, and the stars. The company will grind the union into the ground if they strike.
Rick Barr doesn't have the power or authority to requisition a toilet much less negotiate a pilot contract. Brian McCabe and Tony Coleman (who doesn't even work for UPS) are the ones negotiating for the company. Barr has only been to a few sessions and then only as a figurehead. He has NO power to do anything with this contract. McCabe and Coleman get their orders strictly from Atlanta not 1400 N Hurstbourne or the GOC!
