Pulp was overrated (Jackie Brown was way better anyway, but since it was second the attention span of the fickle trendy movie goer was already tapped out by then). However the Ezeliel 25 17 scene was pretty good you gotta admit.

Why did he wait to long. All the economic guys felt we filed a year to late and damn near got liquidated. We were down to 1.1 billion in cash when we should have filed when we dropped down below 2 billion. Leo's plan as far as I could tell was do everything possible to avoid chapter 11 because USAIR was going out of business and all would be well.

Define not so much before?
You mean never before? Heck, we've hired 498 people in the last 2 years, we hired nearly 2100 in two years starting in late 1996. Wasn't there something like 850+ hired in in the year and a half of hiring in 2007 and 2008?
If 2012 was what you think it was, why did it take over a year and a half to start the hiring?

Of course many here will trash this, but there was recently a documentary on the making of Jaws. Because the mechanical shark was broken, they went from blood and guts to "Hitchcock". Much much scarier when that movie came out.

From the Crew Resources Update:
Total block hours are up 1.6% from January 2012 to January 2014
From the Bid Monitor Report:
Total pilots required under the staffing formula January 2012 -- 9,219
Total pilots required under the staffing formula January 2014 -- 9,817
Total pilots required is up 6.5% from January 2012 to January 2014
What am I missing? We were told at the roadshows that C2012 would cost us about 125 jobs, given a static number of block hours.

That's a fair criticism.
In this case I am told (by web board sources) that a negotiator and MEC Chair accepted a deal that was below MEC direction. However, it is significant that the MEC then accepted it. The MEC could have struck it down and the pilots could have struck it down. None did, so it is a deal.
I see this as more of a demand, offer, and compromise agreement. If the counter offer is accepted, it does not much matter what the demand was.

If you feel the protocol issues (perhaps engaging in negotiations outside the scope of one's authority) is significant enough, perhaps you might tell your Reps that you don't want that person to serve in a similar capacity, or in a position where they are in contact with senior leadership directly representing the pilots.
Recipe for disaster. You must do both.

I like lots of different movies. I just don't like lots of gore and blood and guts for the sake of shock value.

As cheerleaders say, remember to tease, not to please.
