In what world is voting yes to a 15+ percent pay raise capitulation? LOL
I for one am not willing to pass that up to go slow walk through Sect. 6 in what looks like the beginning of a recession. The stock price is just an indicator.

A world in which the company has enough ching to offer up 4Billion to shareholders after the worker bees took it up the chute for over a decade - in order to create that money. A world in which DAL, already ahead of us by a long shot, is laying the groundwork to increase that distance significantly. A world with sub 30 dollar oil. A world with astonishing load factors and pricing power - unheard of just a few years ago. A world in which we earn significantly less (adjusted for inflation) than we did in 2000, when we had a pension and much better work rules....

I give up.

Now UAL is down to Fall 2014 EBOLA levels. Man, if we can't negotiate an awesome new contract in THIS environment...then when??!! ;) The futures so bright....I gotta wear shades....

So the stock price is indicative of our ability to negotiate a contract? I give more credence to GB's drunken friend in finance.

Most seem to know that you are full of it and just pulling chains to get a rile.:rolleyes: Probably your claim of leading a parade of genius pilots is getting more laughs than praise from other airline guys. What they see is a group that's willing to accept a little while allowing a lot to pass by.

There is no doubt that a yes vote is a vote to the company that the current contract is ok and the pilot group is willing to continue accepting their implementation of that contract.

If JH had secret meetings with OM, as gettingbumped claims, to work out this deal to sell to the pilots is true, every pilot should be up in arms and voting a resounding NO.

Just for reference sled, you can buy a 2 ring pool from Kmart/Walmart for under $50.00. You never know but you may not be able to tell the difference.:D

I'm full of it? Well if that ain't the pot calling the kettle! Tell me, was it during this "secret meeting" that they worked out the fake heart attack details? :D How about the fake transplant?

Can you explain how DAL is so far ahead of us?

I don't believe it coincidence. The man could have had heart burn but it didn't take long for your faithful to start singing his praise. I'm still looking for something constructive he did in his short time. Most of what that has been done came from former JS henchmen. If he comes back to United in a meaningful way and does some good for the company/pilots then maybe he could earn all the praise you seem to want to give him. I guess the 13% is enough for you.

Why don't you guys get out and go for a walk...go to the movies...or even the gym? Tit for tat back and forth isn't going to get you anywhere. Only 2 more days and everyone will know the results. :)
