Dude....you REALLY have to stop quoting Blomgren. It shows exactly how desperate you are. Dave's not one of my favorite union volunteers for a variety of reasons. The same Jeff Freund argued BRILLIANTLY in front of the BOA as to why the Nicolau list should be the starting point AND the LAA guys opined THE SAME WAY.
Stuck on the island? Sure. Nic is DEAD?? Who knows? I don't. I guess we'll see, and then see who's right & wrong.
Hang in there buttercup, it's just a little while longer.
Yes flounder, it shows he was right all along that you were and are in denial over the mistakes you made..........Freund "brilliant" WYE did you not listen to him?
"Phoenix to lose it's work rules, and left to suffocate in the fishbowl"
"This letter comes under the heading: "We told you this would happen and you have no one to blame but yourselves."
The PHX Reps are complaining that there has been no movement and in fact, the opposite is true. They were warned many times by many people that by refusing to negotiate with the East over Nicolau and insisting it would be Nicolau or nothing, they got nothing. Five attempts to negotiate with them over the years resulted in telling us in essence, "Go to hell." Now they complain that they have been left behind.
Parker and Kirby told them that without the East merger, they would have implemented the plan "Zanzibar," within 2 weeks entered bankruptcy, furloughed 20% of the pilots and most likely liquidation shortly after that since they had no money and no prospects of getting financing. So by merging, they now fly 24% of former East flights. They should be grateful for the opportunity of merging with an airline that was profitable.
So read the following with all this in mind and try not to shed any tears."

LOOK QUICK! A Rare and Illusive PHX “Vacancy” Bid Comes and Goes!..............Buh bye!
"at·tri·tion
(əˈtriSH(ə)n)
NOUN:
The action or process of gradually reducing the strength or effectiveness of someone or something through sustained attack or pressure.
The Phoenix base is a perfect example for the term “attrition.” We show up for work, do it well, and are the face of the “little airline that could.” We produce this product proudly and safely. Yet slowly but surely, we have been pared back by nearly 13%, and have been deprived from enjoying the benefits of either merger."
WYE do you whine so much about this ............"We did this to ourselves guys"
YOU SIGNED the letter Dorothy........
