Sure, there -might- be a downturn, but there also might be an upturn. And a Black Swan might fly out of my ***... Flip a coin, you have just as good a chance (50%) of being right! Listen to me, I'm an Economic Expert! :rolleyes: Oh no, wait, I'm just an airline pilot! BUT BUT BUT... The Economy may, or may not, improve, or it may even decline, in 2017. We had better capitulate NOW, before it's too late!! :eek: Because...THE SKY IS FALLING...wait...it's not? Well then...THE SKY COULD BE FALLING....in 2017! :rolleyes: |

I have heard the same from one of the ATL reps. Maybe not verbatim, but pretty close to my recollection. Need a quick deal because the downturn is coming, don't recall anything though of trading PS for hard raises.

Alan you know each and every rep. Call them all and show everyone how wrong I am and how I make stuff up.
For the record, I have zero interest proving you or anyone else wrong. I only ever seek to ferret out facts and whine about the occasional sniping that goes on. :p |

Cue Goldfinger. I'll bet they dust him off and drag him back out to help sell their "deal." Lowered expectations all around... it's what DALPA does best. Don't fall for it.

Now the see a downturn in 2017. They couldn't see 6 months into the future, now they can see 3 years into it. Amazing. Jerry |

You're saying that this prediction is coming from ALPA E&FA?
* disclaimer: I'm going with the assumption that some of our reps are actually touting this economic downturn in 2017 as reported by Jerry. You may not like his point of view but I've never known of him to just make something up. Plus, it sounds exactly like something they would do. |

Carl Like someone else posted... consistently and accurately predicting the economy is impossible. Anyone who tells you he can is either lying to you or has deluded himself into thinking he can do the impossible. And I don't want someone representing me who exhibits either of those characteristics. |
