Have to agree with Mrplane.
Management has the "ball"...specifically Dave. He is the "quarter back" who better understand the "game" and ALL the players. Ratification for all groups was by a very "slim" margin...there will be NO OTHER TIME!Personally, haven't seen any great moves by this upper manangement team, other than lowering employee costs (with intimidation and threats) and going into Chapter 11. Threat of losing jobs was the greatest catalyst, and that threat was "wearing thin" on many. I expect this management to reach all their targets this year and next...employees have given them all the tools. In 2004 we will see how they reward themselves and believe me, there are those who will be scrutinizing and reporting this out to everyone in the "know".
We will adapt to our changes and work together to rebuild morale. Hopefully, mangement will be "onboard" with the employees in this endeavor. Like Don Cartey stated at the Aviation Senate Hearing..."the recovery should not be on the backs of Labor".
