N288AA what do you know about what went down at that time? I've never really been able to get a grasp on decent story about it? All I know is that there was a buyout offer and the old timers had stars in their eyes and were bumping into things salivating all over it.N288AA said:
I thought around 97 things were going good in the industry in fact Wolf was buying back US stock man we could have used that money after 9/11 Towards the end of the 90s he was trying to sell usWeAAsles said:
Yea and the passage of that 95 contract again locked people in with no raises for 6 years? Like I said to this day I don't understand what happened? Did the International officers who were sitting at the time pull a fast one? Maybe? There couldn't have been enough old pigs that wanted to get out that could have made it pass IMO and as N288 said, I don't know anyone who admits to voting yes on it either? Don't know what if anything guys would have gained by passing it who were sticking around? A bonus check or something maybe?Worldport said:
We didn't have safety vests back then. I'm not getting a good feeling on the TWU of which I will be a member with the joint contract. sounds to me the union and company were bit too chummyWeAAsles said:
The operative word you used "were" Looking at the history and things that happened since I hired on I have a hard time arguing that they weren't. I've heard a lot of them had the mentality that they knew what's best for the membership. I can honestly make a list just off the top of my head of things that happened that really didn't make sense.Worldport said:
I was a new hire 18 year old kid when that came about you should have heard the break room wisdom coming from some. It took 37 years for it to mature I still haven't, not mentally anywayWeAAsles said:
