I don't remember Don Carty Jane Allen or any other manager cowering in fear as one of the great unions called to tell them to open the AA vaults, for us all to loot.

May I ask what are the things you feel are foolish? The fact that sometimes a Union's contract makes it difficult to compete or the part about not being able to tell the
future?
Why is it that if other employees post something contrary to your view, you feel they are blow hards? Is it because you don't have any type of quality argument but you feel you must lash out anyway?
The fact is if something doesn't change, we will be in bankruptcy. That's not a prediction, that's not a guess, that's a fact. We can't change the economy. We have no control over oil prices. We can't force UA to chapter 7. And we don't have a fortuneteller. So, what do we have control over? The only thing we can control is our wages & benefits. The way I see it, it's a choice of the lesser of 2 evils.
Now, of course, entering bankruptcy does not necessarily mean mass job losses, but again, it comes down to what you believe will be better for you. Do you feel that the unions will end up with a better situation in bankruptcy? Can you provide any facts of how your situation will be improved if this company goes Chapter 11 and somehow avoids Chapter 7?
Sorry for the length of my posts. I guess this is one of the reasones you called me a blow hard.
