Well the Teamsters were at my house 3 times. They had my name, address, and years with the company. They got that information from the TWU.

Anybody know the tax form we will get from JP Morgan for the taxable portion of our pre funding money? Is it a 1099 version or is it considered capital gains?

Are we going to know before the 30th how many slots will be available for each release period for each station? Will we know on the 26th which people took the early out? I understand it will be a bid process based on OCC seniority for which month you want to leave in.

I'm changing to a No.

Hey it's over. Were bankrupt. We have 2 choices. Thats all. There is no voting no and getting back anything. You complain about concessions and then you say vote no so we can give more back. YOU WILL NOT GET MORE WHEN YOU VOTE NO THAN IF YOU VOTE YES. People are going to loose jobs. Can't...

Lay down like a coward and vote no and the company wins. There is no fear. You have this imaginary vision when we vote no we win and we will do better then if we had voted yes. It's not getting better and whatever we get with a no vote it's still 6 years and we will end up with 6 years of...

If you vote no or yes it's 6 years. A no vote is still 6 years. It doesn't get shorter when you vote no and we will never do better than what we will get if you vote yes. It doesn't get better if you vote no. The creditors committee is not giving us more than the term sheet when we vote no...

I vote yes I know what I get. I vote no I get an undetermined amount of years of nothing.

As I watched my father and his best friend go through all those airlines being screwed by corporate raiders I still CHOOSE to go into the same industry and do the same job. All of us feel your anger. But when you spend 16 min on an anger filled F bomb tirade you loose all credibility.

OH Im sorry did I miss the part when we turn this down and the company goes to the judge to to completely shred our contract that the judge will side with us and make us the top payed mechanics in the industry and return everything we gave back in 2003. Or better yet why don't you explain...

Yes this term sheet is awful Yes Jim Little is sacraficing line pay to keep the OH Dues machine and the TWU Yes votes rolling. Yes we need to vote the TWU out ASAP But the term sheet is the BEST we will get. If you want less or think the term sheet is to generous and want to give the company...

Sounds just like Wisconsin

The jobs for wages is a non issue. The company will do exactly what it need to so it can compete with other carriers. Now if your talking about Tulsa being an OSM station so line can get a fair wage I see your point but to expect line stations to give money back to keep jobs in Tulsa your...

Thats what I'm saying. The TWU needs to keep all of us in order to remain in power. And they will work one workgroup against the other to maximize their benefit. The 800lb gorilla in the room is thats unsustainable. We cannot continue to incur a cost structure for OH that no other airline...
