Industry Update

This looks just like the same POS Vermont Plan paper handed out by the TWU to promote the Company position on the concessions. AA/TWU use go to backstreet motels[letters of agreement] to do their dirty deeds,now they stick it to you in your face! Out with the TWU and start New.
 
Well, well, well. I hate to say WE told you so but. . .


WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!


FACTS ARE FACTS!!
Maybe Delle has his own charts for us to see???!!!



I guess you aren't the only one with graphs and charts, 'eh Informer. But I'm afraid these just don't go in your (amfa's) favor!!


Proof is in the Puddin'!!!
 
Anytime I read a document that is filled with such a huge number of...

"Could be" "Potentially" "Possible Exceptions" "Possible Factors"

"Could Have" "Should Be" "Which are Presumably"

"At least partly due to" "Most likely"


...terms in the writing is really nothing more than a spin paper.

Read this document again with these ambiguous terms in your mind, and you will see that this whole document is a clever speculation about what Form41 data means instead of a fact based thesis.

Of course the IQ levels of folks like twuer, has them claiming we are reading FACTS!

Get real man, go back to school and read what the list of terms above actually mean in the English Language, and then try to not be fooled by the official looking farce by use of charts.

Example:
po•ten•tial•ly

Pronunciation: (pu-ten'shu-lE), [key]
—adv.
possibly but not yet actually: potentially useful information.

pos•si•bly

Pronunciation: (pos'u-blE), [key]
—adv.
1. perhaps; maybe: It may possibly rain today.
2. in a possible manner: She has all the money she can possibly use.
3. by any possibility: Could you possibly check this information for me?


pre•sum•a•bly

Pronunciation: (pri-zOO'mu-blE), [key]
—adv.
by assuming reasonably; probably: Since he is a consistent winner, he is presumably a superior player.


part•ly

Pronunciation: (pärt'lE), [key]
—adv.
in part; to some extent or degree; partially; not wholly: His statement is partly true.

like•ly

Pronunciation: (lIk'lE), [key]
—adj., -li•er, -li•est,
—adv.

—adj.
1. probably or apparently destined (usually fol. by an infinitive): something not likely to happen.
2. seeming like truth, fact, or certainty; reasonably to be believed or expected; believable: a likely story.
3. seeming to fulfill requirements or expectations; apparently suitable: a likely place for a restaurant.
4. showing promise of achievement or excellence; promising: a fine, likely young man.


NOW READ THROUGH THAT DOCUMENT AGAIN AND TELL US AGAIN IT IS FULL OF "FACTS"?
 
One certainly has to wonder why these two quarters were used as comparison. I suppose if I had an agenda I could pick and choose at will. So, just for kicks I might want to prove that AA lied to the American public by announcing a 20,000 job reduction in force, when in fact according to the DOT (http://www.bts.gov/oai/employees/) there was a 10,564 increase (full time) year to year. Slam dunk right? Lets see, increase headcount (post 9/11) and then raise the red flag that we're going bankrupt and need immediate sacrifice. Any more conspiracy theory's out there?
 
If you want a graph I'll send you the graph that illustrates our wages vs inflation over the last twenty years of TWU leadership(?).

Its simple, easy to read and gives you a clear perspective as to the direction that the TWU is taking us and where we are now.

Its in Excell and I dont know how to put it here.

Checking it Out said:
Start over? Do you mean when the AFL and the CIO merged or were you referring to 1983 when the TWU spawned the B-scale, or was it this last concessionary contract? Just when do you want to start over?
