By the same logic, they've made about $5 billion since oil peaked at $144. And when oil was down in the $40s, they had made $10 billion. I guess that's my point--whenever the company starts telling us or the media that "for every one dollar increase in barrel of oil, it costs UCAL yadda yadda" it's just a stupid statement in my mind.

Their point is that there's nothing left for labor because of the price of oil. I hope the MEC and NC won't fall for these kinds of absurd false financial statements this time around.

If they're going to declare BK because of our contract then great, just sign the contract and pay me a decent wage until they get around to filing for BK. At least I'll be able to say I worked under a decent contract for a couple of months of my career.
