That should be celebrated if someone has figured out an efficient way to do so.
Very nice! I like the ready for the strike photo as well. Any sense of when the strike might be happening?

All the chest thumping outside of that is just chest thumping.
Two points of pressure. A high quality pilot group that can find jobs easily elsewhere so ABX needs to pay more. Or an inability by ABX to fill seats on new hire classes and an ABX desire to grow operation rather than milk current contract.
And yes - the execs will be making their bucks every year.

I though being able to read and comprehend was obvious. The original OP was trying to be facetious while looking at the picture of the crews with signs that said "ready to Strike" go back and reread.
