Nobody has billions of dollars on hand. Everyone took a pay cut and everyone is paying more for gas. We are lucky enough to work at a company that has been cash-positive enough so as not to make the situation any worse.

If you think your deal is worse than your industry peers, then I would encourage you to push for early openers next year. Just remember that the whole contract becomes amendable at that time.

Somehow I don't think we're going to have an contract negotiations for a while. That's a good thing as far as I'm concerned because the company and the unions have been able to accomplish more together in the past year or so than I would have ever dreamed.

Yea, they transferred financial distress from the company to the employees without taking any hits themselves.

Let's have some early openers in 2006 and see if the situation gets any better, then.

Sure, as long as we get rid of the TWU before then.

With the price of gas these days, why would anyone want an overpriced fuel hog like that? 😉

Maybe they could drive it around hauling passengers, charging much less than it takes to operate to take the ride and call it a transportation system or company?

Actually, a lot of people who want to display their wealth and disdain for conservation or any other peoples' values.
