Well readers, I've done a little research and found some interesting posts from our “union friendly” buddy… Black Magic. Thus far… I've only scratched the surface, but apparently during the time frame of only a few months in 2008, he posted as if he were an advocate of standing our UNION ground and dragging the Company back to the table for a better agreement.
Now… fast forward to today… and he posts as if he is an advocate of the free markets, and right to work!
Below are his actual posts as they appeared in this very forum over four years ago.
Black Magic-- May, 4, 2008-- "This TA wreaks of shadyness... The company knows that when they will merge there will be much more money in profits with reduced competition. No way am I going to vote in some cost nuetral contract that will always keep us 2 steps behind forever. Company needs to offer a fair agreement for everyone to move forward. US Airways thinks they can play everyone as a fool from its customers to the employees.
Black Magic-- April, 12 2008-- I find it astonishing that in Randy's letter he states that if we dont vote this TA in the company is not going back to the negotiating table. What a complete bunch of BS!!! The company will come back again and again. They want this Change of Control agreement vanished so they can merge with another company more than ever!"
Black Magic-- February 14,2008-- "I feel its in LCC best interest to offer a decent contract ie not "cost nuetral"...If they are going to be apart in this merger game they know there will be big $$$ in the future and can afford to offer fleet service something respectable.
It really comes down to if LCC is planning on merging or not. This next TA will say it in a way. If it is above "cost nuetral" I'm willing to assume that they want part in a merger. If not I think they will choose the stance as a stand alone carrier and will just continue with a bankruptcy contract. They are not "nice" people and will pay the absolute least amount as possible so if they do spring a little extra $$$ they have future plans in store.
I mean why even waist time with another TA? If it is similiar or less than the last TA the east hubs will vote it down again big time!"
Black Magic-- January 19, 2008-- "Im just curious to maybe wait and see if we merge with another carrier. If we vote some bum contract in now, we could be stuck with it for a long time and then when the airline industry regains control and makes big $$$ we won't have a piece.
I do agree with airline consolidation, it will make fares higher for consumers but soo what. The "free flight" "cheap ticket" prices need to come to an end."
There are more of these to come... especially the posts where he works in tandem with Nelson to discredit the IAM and Randy Canale!
There is a skunk in the Hen House FOLKS!
Yep those are my posts and during a different economy along with a changing airline industry. The economy was different then and times change. I woke up!!
