I wonder if the independent contractors understand that they are pushing us towards a cliff? Based on their monetary needs, I'd say a job action would not be in their best interest.

I would've laughed anytime he asked about the status of the contract.

They will. Unless there is a "slowdown". Like taxiing at a brisk walk(4-5mph), not blocking early, not picking up draft, etc.

But needs to be a Team effort to be effective.

" Company's going to try and get through one more peak as is." fullpull

I keep beating this drum and no one seems to hear it.

Once peak is past GAME OVER for us.

Will some computer savvy person please make a days till peak counter. It should always appear as the first item on the cargo forum.

Too many "whistling past the graveyard" if you know what this means

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered

There are a few individuals with justifications....but, under certain circumstances all excuses and justifications become invalid.

To me, Contract Now means closing the deal this month or release into self help

And I'm writing my reps to make my opinion known

Agreed. If we don't get it done in August, it ain't going to happen before peak. Enough with all the Red Zone business. Now (we've been saying "now" for over a year), or get released and be prepared.
