I think this is an important thought.

The company is fabricating a crisis--instilling a sense of paranoia and making us look defensively over our shoulders instead of focusing on the fact that the company is wildly profitable and we don't need to concede a THING.

I'm also guilty of biting on the company's manufactured hysteria instead of winding my watch.

Record profits. No concessions. No need to fan the company's attempt to manipulate us.

You're right, I did see that. The vague, ominous feeling I got from it was overshadowed by the vague, ominous feeling I got from the PAS, which was itself overtaken by a more pronounced ominous feeling over the "interviews".

I guess we're only waiting for the next evolutions of the "Inside" series: "Inside You", "Inside You Too", and "Deep Inside You". They're almost there. Hell, thanks to UHC, they're probably there already.

1984 isn't that far ahead.

Then either you're a liar, your reps are liars or you misunderstood. Which specific rep told you that TT, SS or DM, because I was on that conference call too and what you are saying is a lie.

No, you just need to realize like Dennis Miller, sometimes jokes are meant for a narrow group. It doesn't make them less funny.

TT and SS. I didn't talk to Drew.

I don't think you were on the call reroute. If you were, you would have heard clear unambiguous language agreed to by every rep that profit sharing was not to be traded without further authorization from the reps. That authorization never came before TA2012 was signed by the NC. For you to now claim that didn't happen is a ridiculous attempt at revisionist history. I don't know who you are or what role you played on that call, but you weren't listening...if you were even there.

This is why being represented by a far left liberal political organization is difficult for us. We had 33 house republican members join the fight against NAI. Yet we have folks like pilotc90a question their integrity and motivation. This is why conservatives just look the other way with "labor" issues. Labor is so wedded to the far left, you get slapped even when you try to help.

Try to ease up on the thoughtless hate man.

I was on the call and knowing TT and SS as I do, I don't think they lied. Therefore, either you misunderstood, or you are a liar.

TT wrote quite a bit about the TA and the process, can you produce one quote of his that supports your position?

You say that as if there's a difference or something.

I didn't keep everything they wrote from almost 3 years ago. Sorry. Since you claim you were on the call, you should have access to the post-call transcripts and notes that were made. You're so intent on proving me to be a liar (as is every DALPA shill), then post the notes of the call. I'll wait.
