Many had a contract when they retired. Do they really need to spar with the company into infinity? I would love to see a large group of retirees picketing airports and corporate offices!
Why can't retirees ever keep what was promised--CONTRACTED to them? I'm not a retiree by any means, but I think it's criminal that companies can change things after the fact. It's like playing one on one basketball with a spoiled brat who when they see they're losing, they change the rules to...
I don't think the Gov't should have bailed out crack addict Bankers, Freeloaders nor Car Companies either. Unfortunately I don't think the politics du jour will allow Major Airline Failure. Like the Dems are just gonna screw over Unions...Who will be left to vote for them? If United/AA/DL/US...
I'm with Jetz...this is a setup. All I see is a new acronym that doesn't mean much more than preparing to request something. Generating new income, or expansion is the antithesis to these people. All they understand is shrinkage (tongue in cheek). :rolleyes:
I pray Glenn et al get kicked to the curb--soon! New planes would be a nice addition as well. How many pilots flying in/around PHX on a regular basis experience hot brakes (delays) on their planes in the summer months? B-737 vs Airbus 320/319 specifically? Just curious of the ratio, not trying...
I wonder how we're going to fly to PHX in the summer when it's over 116 degrees...Airbus doesn't operate when it gets too hot--737s do though. Seems like the powers that be overlook operational necessities quite often.
Each of them ARE greedy to the point of selling their Mothers for a dime--that qualifies! Running an airline-- that's ridiculous! Only Southwest, and to a lesser extent, CO does that crazy thing these days! Embezzling money, on the other hand, we've got two great candidates!
