Why don't you re-read the Message. Is this what your reffering to?

"""""Unfortunately, the informal discussions this week revealed that management desires to have their union pilots sacrifice much more than the other employees. Additionally, notwithstanding the fact that we have been trying for a year to get them to begin to address this issue incrementally, they insist there is no time for a LOA and member ratification process.

Looks to me like he's saying "They insist there is no time for an LOA". "They" being the company...

What a great start to 2009 -- Goodluck to all!

If one more pilot is to be excessed or even furloughed, DW needs to not only resign, but retire. He took something from every junior Capt., FO and SO that was not his to give away. He has taken away seats, seniority and security and given it away all by himself. With his "retroactivity'' clause he gave the over 60 crowd a gift at a huge cost to the entire crewforce. It was not their fault that DW did this.

If someone gave you a $500,000 gift that belonged to someone else, would you give it back?

We are going through some tough times right now and everyone needs to do the right thing together. It is hard to move forward, without correcting the past.

And your point is?

Yep, already started tightening the belt. I skipped the Bud Light at Kroger's and bought Natural Light...saved five bucks!

I recommend Keystone Light. Sure, you pay a few cents more than Natty Light, but your palate will thank you!
