do you think they company is dumb enough to accept something like this? Aside from the probable illegality of capriciously changing an arbitrator's decision, do you think the company would risk the unbelievably bad PR that would result? The company may be crazy, but they ain't stupid.
Even if JW were dumb enough to try this, do you think they company is dumb enough to accept something like this? Aside from the probable illegality of capriciously changing an arbitrator's decision, do you think the company would risk the unbelievably bad PR that would result? The company may be crazy, but they ain't stupid.
First let me say that I have a lot of respect for you. You have shown yourself to be a very reasonable person and I would really like to meet you some day and shake your hand. Do I think the company is crazy or stupid? Heck no! But, what we are talking about here is a union president that handed over the furlough pay of thousands of his membership being sent to the street to the company on a silver platter. Why is it so inconceivable to believe that he would do the same with the 777 award? If the union is given an award by the arbitrator and the same union gives part of it back as payment of a "debt owed", that doesn't reflect on the company.

it appears that during the RPA, APFA gave up the underfly provision, which resulted in a lot of problems...so, in order to "buy back" the underfly provision,
APFA decided to spend 6.9 million from the 777 award. So I guess it is time to thank the most senior amoung us for their generous support.....them, and of course John Ward, for thinking up a way to make up for being such a bad negotiator, and taking the money from folks that are probably going to retire soon, and couldn't cause anyone much grief over it.

He sure likes taking things from people leaving soon. Retiree's and furloughee's. Imagine some of the money the people would have gotten had jw not given up about a 1/3 of the award. Imagine how much more my 260 dollars would have been.
