Please do not call me an idiot again for not knowing you, but without any knowledge of who you are it makes it pointless to discuss sensitive information on a public message forum. People have PMed me agreeing with my general numbers from the seniority list expansion since 2005, but I think from this point forward it is best to keep your diversions out of discussions. I am sorry you are so upset with events of late, but I do feel confident this mess will be over soon. Have you read the transcripts from the court hearing? I did and it certainly sounded even better than when I heard it in person. I look forward to seeing you off LOA 93.
That's not why I called you an idiot. It was for your condescending assumptions. You lump everyone in the same pile, and tell us what we think, without really knowing us. "I think from this point forward it is best to keep your diversions out of discussions"? I don't really know what you mean, but who are you to say what will or will not be included in a conversation? The "silver spoon"comment is a prime example of your arrogance. You have no idea about me, or what I went through to get here. I'd put money that it was higher cost than you paid.
People PMed you? Those that agreed with me just said so out in the open.
Maybe you are correct in what you are turning over in your mind, but not in all that you have written. I'm going to go back and print everyone of your posts, take them literally word for word, and see what I come up with. I will let you know, and if I find your are correct I will say so. I wouldn't count on that. Did you read Jim's post about what the bid announcement meant. That alone goes against your premise.
I'm glad you are looking forward to seeing me off LOA 93, that's more than some your buddies would say. But, don't worry too much me, I'm doing okay. Late 40s, 25 years in, captain, great family and doing fine financially. So much so that I cannot imagine a contract that I would vote for if it includes the Nic. I've accepted things a long time ago and will be fine with the outcome. Nic or DOH, God willing, I will end up near the top, so if you get to CLT, I will be there to welcome you.......when this is over.
I've read the transcripts, once quickly. I found it interesting that Judge Silver talked of negotiations and the negotiation process and seemed to take the company attorney to task. There was something in there about the system board and not taking that road? But, I have no idea what it means to our situation. I'm not an attorney and besides, every time I've tried to figure out what a woman was thinking, I got it wrong(humor, but for the most part true).
