Orders aren't meaningless. You have to order the planes before you can get them delivered.

Thank you for introducing me to this new saying of 'rolling in a $h!+grenade'. Truly brought a smile to my face! Permission to use this saying at will?

While you guys whine and complain, they struggle to find a reasonable job they can make a living at. Too bad the aviation industry is full of cowards like yourself who bow down to a modern day Frank Lorenzo. But hey, keep flying that Airbus and tell us again how those scum RAH pilots want your job. They already have mine.

Now I see why the vote for concessions had to be rushed through.... Mr. Bedford was about to sign an order for the 80 airbus' in Paris and it was the perfect carrot to dangle .... a promise of "new airplanes with your concessions!"
I remember several years ago when the RAH pilots were told to sign a new contract and you will get Jets.... THE PILOT GROUP SAID NO and turned down the first contract.... we want scope++++ and better work rules.... well as you know the jets came anyway.

Oh, you mean the one where the company requests the postponement of the vote tally because of the imminent divestiture of RJET's majority ownership stake in Frontier? The one where LOA 67 was finally given to 357 and the NMB? That little grenade?

Kaptain, You conveniently leave out the part where you were so emboldened and your testis were so brass-like because your company was PROFITABLE when you were asked for concessions. You got scope, but "work rules"?

I love Dirty Rats! I bow down to you you almighty stud! NOT!

At least the MID Ex. guys on the property are very cool.

I love Dirty Rats!

Come yank my gear and maybe we can hash out our differences.

I love Dirty Rats!

What I really love is that you now lump the Frontier people into your BS.
All your Sh-t went down before we were on the property. Move along like you said you have because they way it seems is you have no stake in this any more.
Flamebait gets you nowhere!

I love Dirty Rats!

I have a new nickname for you: BB! Bitter B_atch!

Absolutely! Consider it "open source".

That's the one! Was kind of throwing out the challenge for someone to contact their IBT357 reps and ask if anything important might be going on. For some odd reason, 357 seems to keep their membership in the dark with regards to troublesome news.
