Retracted - it just ain't worth the effort!

I'd already sent a note to the mods to reopen the previous thread....

If you ask me, the editorial was spot on in a number of areas, and went a lot further than the current pissing contest over in the Conley thread.

It took both sides to task, which is rare for the Startle-gram.

MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN - "GOD hath numbered thy kingdon and finished it", Though art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting", "Thy kingdom is divided, and given to .....(Medes & Persians do not apply here). Increase Management's PUP's. We labor are done.... 😱

Such is the kingdom of AA, and the TWU. Both are corrupt, and self serving. The rank and file, weren't the ones that made the decisons, that put AA in it's financial quandry. It wasn't the rank & file that weren't satisfied with the vote, or altered the tabulated votes, to keep AA out of Bankruptcy.

1.) Management had it all worked out. They kept their stock options, with the blessing of the Unions, and in the same breath- Pulled the rabbit out of thier Hat, with the PULL Together, so "they" not "US", could win together! Yet we worked together, to keep this terd afloat, and elevated the share price higher, for their Stock Options.


2.) We are now caught in the "Perfect Storm". Shredded Contracts, Peak Oil, Negotiating in a Recession, Poor Revenue environment, and Fuel Hogs for aircraft, that need replacement- soon. We are in no mans land, with no leverage. And the company's Ace up it's sleeve, is Bankruptcy. Either way, they win. AA, nor the TWU, ever thougth about the "wild" card of fuel. That is their achillies Heel, right along with the U.S. of A . So much for their MBA's, and 10 year forecasts...


3.) The only way out, is to get out. It is not going to get any better, to much is against us- Including our government. 🙁

We closed this for a good reason-the article was ALREADY posted in another thread.

The next person who tries to start a thread replacing one closed gets a week off.

One subject-discussed in ONE place. Not a difficult concept.
