Many of them buy their fuel in Venezuela.

I wish I could get a gas bill of only $100 per month and the utility bill, heck I would settle for $200. Where did you come up with these numbers?Former ModerAAtor said:The average family is now spending another $100 per month to put into the gas tank just to get to work, and another $50 per month for their utility bill (about what ours has gone up in the past few months due to natural gas price increases), plus grocery prices going up another few cents per item.

That's where the US gets a majority of their oil. Maybe the cruise lines have figured out how to pass the costs to the consumer. Something the airlines will have to do to survive.Wretched Wrench said:Many of them buy their fuel in Venezuela.

There is no question given the current trend, that scabs will never be able to replace highly skilled technicians who pride themselves in their work and safety.
The question remains. Will the idiot CEO be held accountable for his mis-calculations? Or does he and the other corporate jackasses leave with their golden parachutes while leaving everyone else holding the bag of dung?
The CEO is so out-of-touch with business reality he couldn't even see the worth of his precious jewel "the worker".
He should have stopped and read the PEB Transcript from earlier negotiations with the AMFA. Maybe then he would have understood how things are in the real world of aircraft maintenance. Guess what management stooge? There is a real person, and real skill, and real asset behind the uniform. You failed to see it, because dollar signs blind your vision. The price for this blindness is going to be slow coming, but extremely expensive.

Unless of course it is executive largesse...in which case there's ALWAYS money available, whether it's there or not....hell, especially if it's not; Gotta "..keep talent.." et.al. "Oh Ju-udge!............."
