What difference would that have made? I would still vote yes. So we got a nice raise, kept 100% of our profit sharing, and according to that, the negotiating environment will be just as good 2 years down the road after DAL and other have jumped us. Sounds even more like we 79% made the right call.

If you recall, one of the most often foisted arguments for accepting this deal was the exactly the opposite of what ST posted. I think that's the difference he was alluding to.

Get over it and move on! The vote is done. And just as important, this is one financial analyst. Should people post the contrary analyst reports too?! I'll give people one month to beyotch and moan like the SLI, but after that, you need to focus on the future.

These are the same guys that crashed the economy in 2008. If they could accurately predict the future the world would look a lot different.

Being a financial analyst is an entry level job, straight out of college. They do not have the life experience to have lived through 3-5 up and down cycles of the economy, and remember them. Let alone the even bigger up and downs of the airlines, due to over expansion and over capacity.

Guys, why the short fuse?. I just posted the article because it goes to the benefits of airline consolidation and job security going forward. We knew airlines would be on better financial footing but I would not have bet on recession proof.

Ah United, The least desired airline.

HA! No pool for me. There's better than a foot of snow in my backyard. I believe because of the consolidation we've seen, airlines are different now. They are somewhat recession proof. BUT, that is just my belief. I also once believed Western Pacific Airlines was a good investment! :eek: AND we've had an incredible run... March will be 7 years of economic expansion. SO, we shall soon see how recession proof airlines are. I think watching with industry leading rates was a wise choice. An easy choice.
