I tell you what, ACL. I don't want C2K rates. Because those rates will be great for Carl, Dal88, Sailing, and Nu. It will make them rich. Guys like me and FTB, and Johnson will be collecting 99 weeks of unemployment benefits.
Yes, the bankers do own our company. The largest shareholder is reportedly Fidelity, at 13.2%. I think AMEX owns a chunk too. The investors that provided the financing to exit Ch11 want to get paid, too. We made around 2 billion profit this year, did we not? As previously stated C2K would raise pilot pay costs by 2 billion. Where do you think they are going to recoup that money? They are not just going to say, "oh well, it's a cost of doing business, and darn it, those guys deserve it!"
I DON'T WANT TO GET PAID THE MOST! I WANT TO GET PAID THE LONGEST!
