If neither part of retroactivity is going to pass, then why are we wasting time, effort, and Unity on it? If this is some type of ‘posturing’ for future negotiations, it seems to be coming at a heavy price in shaken, if not shattered, trust in the MEC and fractured unity among us.

I could point out that democrats are going to cost me another 8K a year in taxes by 2010 (at least) but that is another thread.

In response to the billionaire republican comment I could have pointed out Soros but I didn't. Republicans are the party of the middle class. The rich and the poor all vote democrat.

2006 largest companies in the world based on PROFITS:
1. EXXON OIL
2. ROYAL DUTCH/SHELL GROUP
4. BP OIL
7. TOTAL OIL (france)
8. CHEVRON
9. CONOCO/PHILLIPS
11. PETRO/CHINA
Don't kid yourself. Bush is paying back all the oil dollars that got his butt into office. That's a big part (not the only) of why we are STILL in Iraq.

Not just saying it.....
From my discussions with MEC members, this is not a position we FEDEX ALPA are taking. It is an action! We want to actually influence the law makers (FAA or Congress) to include 60+ FEs (because they aint retired) back to the front seats (assuming 1st class, award bid, pass training)!

Yes, that's correct.
Because the "right thing to do" is to protect their regulatory rights. Oh wait. No, we're supposedly doing this to protect their seniority rights, aren't we? Ohhh... So, we have to change the regs before we can protect the rights that they don't now have. But, the government is already going to change the regs. "With or wiithout us". But, their language won't give them those rights. Gosh..I'm so confused.
That should be our MEC's new slogan. We're going to do this, "WITH OR WITHOUT YOU!.
Seems like I've heard that line before.
