Okay Dad...........

It's designed to wear you down, lower your expectations, and fracture group unity by creating infighting.

We will not succumb to any of the above.

Stay unified and never lower your expectations just to "get a deal"

Not in denial or anything, I'm just curious, how do you know?

Come onnnnnnnnnn, I can't expose my source :)

Source Chimpy? The entire NC is from LEC18. Not a stretch of the imagination that a few insider tips get passed around there.

It don't matter none at all, it's pretty obvious the company doesn't care to be serious about negotiations. Oh we'll get a contract alright, it'll be a concessionary contract because "we must keep costs low to merge with Frontier, and hey, upgrades will be 2.5 years, so give out those free smiles, and by the way, don't those cute animals just look so darned cute on the tail?"

Skrew you, the slope is too steep. You're obviously a senior guy and you're "getting yours." How do you expect unity with this kind of slope? No other areline has this kind of slope. It's all about senior guys dumping on the junior guys. It's not fair. We need a shallower slope. I don't care what the top rate is, just so everybody is equally miserable.

I realize you are trying to illustrate a point here, but this isn't helping anyone.

Slope is the least of our worries. 10 months past the amendable date and we have TA'd Filling of Positions and I think Moving Expenses. Good grief, there's a car in my neighbor's backyard that will completely rust out and turn to dust before we see a contract.

Will you be in Houston? I know you said you were waiting for your schedule?
