Little hint:

The airlines ask for ALPA EF&A because they produce the product the company wants.

Snapbacks?

How about we realize we're negotiating in a bad economy in 2012. We can sign off on a contract but it must also have snapups.

Two snaps up, a twist, and a kiss!

Talking Gloopy for MEC!

Yeah those Mitsubishi jets at TSA and those C-Series jets at RAH are really saving our bacon! Were it not for them we would be furloughing more.
Yes I was being sarcastic. But only a little bit.
Watch them like a hawk. Trust but verify. Mostly verify.

Ok, I am not joking this time. How do we nominate Gloopy for MEC Chairman? Or would he help us more by taking LM's job? Gloopy, we will probably need your employee number to put on some nomination form, somewhere.

Also keep in mind:
The election is just before our amendable date.
If a Republican wins then we will get a new appointee to the NMB in early '13.
Makes the Board 2-1 Republican instead of the current 2-1 Democrat.

Scambo is 100% correct shiznit. It's just painful for you to hear given your boundless love for ALPA. When management claimed during BK that industry revenues had been Permanently reset, and that is why snapbacks were impossible...ALPA's EF&A agreed. When management said snapbacks would prevent the company from accessing the capital markets, ALPA EF&A agreed.

We now see both were total BS. Yet EF&A missed it...almost as if they were representing management's interests.
