My guess would be that they would be separate companies for a while (until 2018?) Then, when everyone else is several dollars per hour ahead of us, offer a bone to the OSMs and another early out to swing the vote, while crying broke and giving the rest of us the shaft. Hey.... Remember what the 5 and 5 brought in? We are so stupid we fall for the same thing every time. Let's see..... Scared low time employees vote yes thinking they will have a job, but will get laid off anyway (see 2003 givebacks to save jobs) and over 60s with no way to recoup their losses from 2003 vote yes for the buyout (which will be financed with YOURS and MY retire medical fund). That leaves the rest of us to vote no and save ourselves. It's up to the rest of us. Typical TWU tactic. Divide and conquer. I am really tired of being in the group that is conquered. I am hoping there are enough of us in the same boat. Too old to get another job and too young to retire. I pray we can carry the no vote. Remember we gave away the farm in 2003 to save the pension and retiree medical. The pension is now gone and TWU wants to give away the retiree medical. So if we let them have it, everything we lost was in vain. These shysters are out for total victory and I'll be damned if I will let them have it.
Does actually so the early outs would change the layoff numbers. I was so pissed by the time I got there I just passed over it.
Its called the "How to sell a POS contract 101" by the TWU. Been perfecting it since 1983.
I guess 2003 was a figment of our imagination? We haven't been through the pain yet? The fun is just beginning? That is hillarious. We took a worse beating than the airlines that actually filed BK and we have been living it for 9 years! Oh, I get it......... My BK was worse than yours........ Na na na na na. Get Real.
You haven't been keeping up with the case filings have you? The transcripts of the 1113 hearings are only available by going to the Clerk of the Court's office in person. They'll be available on the AA case docket site in July. Till then you'll just have to believe what you want. Just remember what I said earlier in one of these threads - Judges at the same level don't set precedent for each other, be it District Court Judges or Bankruptcy Judges. Precedent is only set for lower coourts by higher courts - Circuit Appeals Court Judges set precedent for District Court Judges in that Circuit, SCOTUS sets precedence for Circuit Appeals Courts and District Courts - but only when the facts of the case are the same or the upper Court ruling is broad.
