That's great. You get the profit sharing and we get a small pay bump. Someone however went off the reservation and violated the TPA. I think you and I agree on more than we disagree.

APC225,

I completely agree. It was a pivotal point, and management knew it.

They played it well with JPos, and we all collectively missed a chance at gaining much needed JCBA leverage.

Sadly JPos has set us back years in our collective efforts to unify this pilot group. I hope we can all move past this chapter quickly, and JPos returns to the line, where he can reap what he has sown.

It's not that unusual.

Most Americans have 'checked out,' Gallup says

Seven out of 10 workers have “checked out” at work or are “actively disengaged,” according to a recent Gallup survey.

In its ongoing survey of the American workplace, Gallup found that only 30 percent of workers are “were engaged, or involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their workplace.” Although that equals the high in engagement since Gallup began studying the issue in 2000, it is overshadowed by the number of workers who aren’t committed to performing at a high level — which Gallup says costs companies money.

The poll, released last week, examined worker engagement beginning in 2010 and ending in 2012. The previous poll period covered 2008 through 2010.

The survey classifies three types of employees among the 100 million people in America who hold full-time jobs. The first is actively engaged, which represents about 30 million workers. The second type of worker is “not engaged,” which accounts for 50 million. These employees are going through the motions at work.

The third type, labeled “actively disengaged,” hates going to work. These workers — about 20 million — undermine their companies with their attitude.

And here we are still languishing through another summer under C'02 pending implementation of "joint CMS" and "Joint Implemenation Team."

To go from agreeing with Moombabeach, to loss of enthusiasm, to checking out, to not engaged is one heck of a back peddle. Believe what you want. I guarantee you that if Feb 14th rolls around and flights had cancelled, someone would be in front of the judge before you could say railway labor act. That, is the modus operandi of employee relations.

Profit sharing of $40 million will hopefully cost a lot more in the end. The scorched earth left in it's wake depicts a scene of money well spent.

SpecialTracking, You got me. I'm all over the map here. But I've been consistent that I think profit sharing harmed our overall effort in the JCBA process.

You stole it so why not keep it - we'll get ours the right/legal way.

We all lost because of this - nothing to be proud about
