The article is about DP and his view on labor. I am sure DP has a strong opinion on union labor. I spent a many of night at the supper table listening to my dad and his opinion on labor and management. I also sat in my living room with my mother watching dad cross the picket line as low level management with State troopers line up with cars turn over. Crossing the picket line is something very personal and emotional only a few select have felt. My dad stated entry-level union labor and work his way up to middle management. I would say my dad opinion is union wages and benefits help created Middle America with union pay I think entry-level management and middle management are paid well because of union pay. Like my dad says YOU HAVE TO KEPT THE BIG BOYS HONEST. Now PineyBob you assume it was my opinion that DP was being stereotype by me in a negative way I would think DP is very interested Kroger situation since his dad spent his life working there. And I think labor and management have lot to learn from their mistakes. After working for this airline for 28 years in customer service I always listen and get the customer opinion before making my own opinion and suggestions.

My dad was card carrying member in good standing with the The United Steelworkers (USW) for 20+ years I recall two strikes with my dad walking the line in his mid 40’s he went into management and retired at 65 years of age with 46 years of service. And I hope you know the difference between a scab replacement worker and someone rising thru the ranks to management
This is so true...if it was so easy we would all be CEO's I sure as hell would not want the pressure...something to be said about being a worker bee...

It is (at least on my part) scepticism based on past U CEOs and Parker's lack of intiative, thus far. I feel that he is just another empty suit. I hope he proves me wrong, but I bet he won't. Goodness, LCC cannot even get the HFs to work on the PHNL flights and they have years of experience at UEAST, but god forbid we tap into our resources, let's just flail along here.
Many of us out here have our own companies. Small companies where we are CEO, CFO, VPs of everything and responsible to our families and our employees and with NO GOLDEN PARACUTES if things go badly.
