Basically a grouping depending on which philosophy you follow, same as Malonies, Malokies, Bartellians, Schnitzlerites and Ambrosians.

With this latest TA disaster it's time we don't settle for your standard 8" pie in a tin and remind the company " pie's" at Costco are twice as large. So let's get away from this silly pie nonsense and get what we deserve not what the company claims they can afford. How did that 7 billion $$$ stock buyback stunt turn out? They must have thought they could afford that or " boom" jets? Time to invest in people and not silly stunts.

Dude. At least try to keep straight which forum you’re carpet bombing. You’re talking United management in the Delta forum. You’ve tried to get Delta pilots to change their votes on the UAL TA. Pay attention to what you’re doing.

Talk about not seeing the forest thru the trees. If I say you get $10, figure out how to divide it, you and your type say “Ok, $6 raises, $4 QOL”. Many others would say, sorry we feel we’re due $15.

They force the company to “bake a bigger pie”than they originally said they would. Don’t fall for this nonsense. Make em pay. It’s gonna be expensive, and shareholders won’t love it. But I don’t give a damn. Open the checkbook, Scott, or your dreams of the greatest airline in the history of aviation will go right down the toilet.
