The same guys who told me I was "just being negative" and "contract will be done by summer 2017" or "contract will be done by end of 2017" or " just give them more time, it's almost done" and "the company knows they have to pay market rate". You guys lost credibility with me a LONG time ago.

The only real reason I responded to your comments tonight is because *I* had said something really stupid, and I wanted to say so.

Beyond that, take your "credibility" and shove it up your blue panties.
Yeah I’m such a company guy. You do you BD I’m done with this.

On aside, as I type with a nice scotch hum going it occurred to me that the next time I picket I might do so while being ever so slightly on the sauce. I mean, gotta take a day off, marching around in the damn cold, might as well…we ain’t operating, right? Someone please tell me this is a bad idea and thanks in advance…
No more than two! Otherwise, sounds good and I may join you if the waters nice...

I'm pretty sure you've said some of those things, or similar to me in the past. The company has done a pretty good job of turning guys that were pro-alpa AND pro-JB (not the management) into guys that are no longer "company guys", myself included. Joe should do that longer post about how we were both pro-alpa AND pro-JB. The company's actions and conduct changed me.

Yep, I know I can be a Richard to those on here who disagree with me about JB.

Looking forward to 2020 so we can finally all put this behind us.

Agree with all. But I’ll go with 2019.

I think it depends on how angry this pilot group gets. They aren't going to sign until they feel some heat to do so. Either from the operation (pilot good will) or Wall Street.

Just my opinion...

So that is when you think we will be able to strike?

I don't believe for a second that you guys wouldn't have called me out for being wrong had this gone the way you guys thought. But it didn't, so you guys just focus on how meany meany I am.

See you still can’t help yourself.
Oh bluedriver it’s not all about you, but you make it so.

Anyone know for sure if the non-mediated negotiation session were cancelled for next week? I thought I heard it was but the alpa site still says it's scheduled.

They’re still meeting. It’s a “final language meeting”. 2/26-3/2 is the next mediated session.

We all have a part to play but sometimes when the chips are down the loudest talkers have left the room.
This is the post I was replying to, was this not about me telling people how right I was?

If you guys would have been right about how this was going to go, you would have been sure to tell me how wrong I was, again.
