So, if I understand correctly... Yes, they're cheating, but they're hoping a smokescreen will work.

Not only are they popping incoherent chaff about bankruptcy and PBGC, but are claiming ME3 is the salvation of union jobs in America, the American (and World!) economy and even ALPA pilots! Its going to be so sweet to watch those megalomaniacs choke on their super jumbos that they ordered specifically to poach US-EU and US-other non ME markets. |

They need to sell it every bit as much as someone needs to buy it. They will just need to pay for their own defense for once. As for your "quadruple" oil price scenario, we survived 150sh bbl oil for a while just fine, and a long time at near double today's prices. The higher the price, the more and the faster our larger permanent infrastructure would come online. They know this very, very well. That's why our good buddies in the House of Saud are waging economic warfare against North American oil production right now. Empty threat. We don't need them. We don't need to babysit them. We don't need to protect them. We don't need to transfer our industry to them. At all. |
I don't know exactly what PS % was last year but it might be kind of fun to vote the contract down and have the investment community squeeze management rather then us constantly whining for "restoration " which the company couldn't care less about. When the ball is in their court they think nothing about dragging their feet. The ball is in our court now,why don't we drag our feet. I for one would enjoy another year of record profit sharing.
Somebody enlighten me if something is wrong with my logic. |

Now I'm starting to salivate over a no vote.

Its way easier to take out a Libya or Iraq here or there for threatening to go off the dollar. Its another thing altogether when Russia, China, Brazil and many, many others are talking about incrementally switching to other alternatives. It won't be that big of a deal for us either, if we learn to live within our means. That might include sitting out a few "Arab Springs" and not providing their military welfare for them for free, or paying them to take our airplanes and transfer jobs to them. Oh well. They have ZERO leverage over us. None. Especially if the EU stops carrying their water, which has potentially started already. They have massive replacement lift ambitions with the US and EU and many other markets having nothing to do with the ME. Let them choke on their super jumbos. |

I,ve been following this post for a few days now and it's kind of like watching the Jerry Springer show. Morbidly entertaining with absolutely no impact on the outcome of Contract 2015.

These venues played a central role in banishing CDOs from the FAR117 LOA. Never would have happened a few years ago; the word never would have spread quickly enough to matter. We wouldn't have known a damn thing until it was too late. Someone asked before--is anyone live-tweeting the meeting tomorrow? If so, can you please post your twitter handle here or via PM? thanks! |
