Default 9 September Chairman's letter

I liked it. Not that the company won't negotiate in good faith but that Malone is taking a stand.

EDIT: and I certainly hope that we won't be carrying the wishy-washy signs we carried at previous pickets. The signs and rhetoric need to be amped up.

It restored my faith in the leadership. I fully expected a TA after this week.

No, it's pretty much exactly what we predicted.

Keep celebrating lads. Every single day you're taking another paycut.

While preserving hard fought benefits and QOL. BTW my paychecks aren't getting any smaller, that would be a pay cut.

Inflation is hard.

The only reason I logged on right now was to see their pro-management preaching and despair.

No preaching. No despair. I've accepted this for a while.

The smart people predicted all this. I listened. I would think that those who listened when Brielmann, Bartels, Jerry, and the gang promised a quick contract would be the ones despairing. They've had less time to process this.

Maybe that's not the best characterization, but it's hard to summarize briefly.

I guess, mostly, that particular crowd has the idea that any pay raise is a good deal, no matter what the cost in "soft" money.

Everyone here fully understands their TVM argument. 65% of the pilots also concluded that the pay rates weren't worth selling everything else for. The TVM argument, if that is the only important thing, pretty much urges that we should always take every deal, because if we take the time to negotiate anything, we automatically lose. It's a tidy calculus.
