Walked through the Medal of Honor museum recently. The histories of the heroes honored were very interesting to read. When under fire not one of them blurted "dude ... I'm outta here, you're on your own."

Well said.

What a bunch of selfish whiners! When some Jack A says something like that I ask these guys where exactly they are parked at the employee parking lot and then just stare at them for the rest of the trip. But I'm 6'3" and 250 lbs so I have a high level of intimidation. :D

Give up scope or try not to regain what we had? There is a difference. Some people don't want to pay to go after the current 76 seaters out there, and I can understand that. But, if they want to give future 100 seaters to Comair or ASA, then that is different. I don't know many who would ever agree to that. Recapturing flying already lost would be very expensive, and that maybe is his point. I personally would never vote to allow any DCI carrier even one more 70 seater or larger.

Never mind

Nope, this demographic will sell 100 seat scope for a hefty raise without batting an eye. As one guy put it, "I've go 5 years to maximize my money to make up for what was stolen. After that this place go to ****, I'll be gone."

From a strictly self interest point of you I get it. The loss of the DB and the rise of the DC has created a split in the collective self interest in this industry. Until the Deadzoners are gone, scope sales will have to be monitored closely. Younger guys that are fully invested in the DC plan have more of a long term profitability interest in the company. Not saying those guys are wrong, just different self interests.

What a moron! He takes a 40% pay-cut along with loss of pension and, indicates he'll settle the upcoming contract for 25% raise, AND does not mind a sellout of the junior guys in the process. In the end, he's still down well over 20% from where his wages were pre-bankruptcy, NOT including inflation OR loss of pension! Where DO guys like this come from? What ever happened to "leaving the profession BETTER than when you arrived??? Is it any wonder we're in the mess we're in?

LMAO!!!! Priceless!!!! :D

Well, I thought it was! :)

Still learning--what is your retirement? Just 401K? Who's it through?

Wife tells me I can't make fun of old men or gays. Apparently drunks are still OK. Feel free to repost (that way I have no culpability).

I did hack his AE and put in MD88B NYC and will PBS early EWR duty ins. Think he will mind?
