Disagree 1000%.

He will do what's best for the shareholders (and he is a major shareholder) and what the BoD permits him to do.

He is NOT our friend. He may be less of a jerk than many CEOs, but if he could find a way to get us to work for free, he would do it in a heartbeat.

If RA had a strong desire to do the right thing he would rescue the retired Delta pilots from the travesty that happened to their retirement.

If he would do the right thing that would be honor the spirit and intent of the contract not try to circumvent it the hold down pay rates. As it is now he did exactly the opposite. He gave raises that were timed to exclude us.

My guess the company won't budge an inch on their last position. For a bunch of reasons. It will take a show of force to move the mountain.

Yep. My guess is, their opener will be worse tha NA15. They will try to break us. They may peel some guys off, but I think most of us realize now is the time to take a stand.

Start saving.

Hopefully the moment management drops a crap deal, Malone and the MEC will spin up the strike committee and start informational picketing.

Ok. Well 65% will be wicked low compared to the next no vote then. And we will also have a different union. And there will only be a few backpacks, and they will all be in Atlanta.

Full disclosure: I told phone polling I would strike for all of the issues they asked me about.

I don't think the company will do that.


That would be negotiating in bad faith and it would be our negotiators duty to walk away from the table.

I'm with you.

But, serious question, didn't we already agree to mediation in March?

The last stab by the Moakolytists.
