Questions for Jim Little in Tulsa meeting....

[CMH_GSE]

For those of us that can't be at the Tulsa meeting can someone please ask Jim Little questions we have for him?

My one big question is :
Why is Jim Little withholding key parts of the merger language with US Airways?
If you read the very vague 3 page document it has a couple of instances where it references "other deals".

I would like Little to shed light on exactly WHAT "OTHER DEALS" are they talking about.

They give up profit sharing and they go down to 3% match 401k from 5.5% match for "other deals".

There is not one word in the 3 pages about Title II, why not?


I know we are being told the merger has nothing to do with this vote, maybe so, BUT, it may well have plenty to do with where we elect to bump to with a merger on the horizon more likely to happen than not.

The pilots and the FA's unions have shared the deal language with their members.

That 3 page pdf of the so called agreement with US is a joke, it's not even close to whole story.

Probably cut a side deal with the IAM so both sides can still harvest dues.TWU gets one group, IAM another.

 

[CMH_GSE]

I agree, there is a lot of language missing.

I believe we should be shown the whole agreement before we vote.

Why i thought you said you where going to vote yes, why the sudden interest in the language and what the pilots and f/a's are doing for some silly reason they are not in a hurry to vote on something and they have seen their us airways deals.

Nothing to see hear or in other words "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ HAS SAID VOTE YES!!!

Probably cut a side deal with the IAM so both sides can still harvest dues.TWU gets one group, IAM another.

I also think that this may be the case. The IAM gets MTC, and the TWU gets fleet. This way both unions get to keep roughly the same amount of members...
Just a guess...

I am currently in the yes column, however, I would like to have all the information, not just bits and pieces. I think we have a right to know what is coming down the pike.

Sad part of it is, that there's nothing funny about it!

Here's one for him.

If the LBO passes and 2,000 AMT's sign up to take advantage of the "early out", will you demand a revote if only 500 are allowed to leave? If not, why would you allow ambiguouse language in the LBO that coerced a yes vote under false pretense?

Like the language throughout these threads concerning the Pre Funding? Now at the last moment you get it all.
