Good lord. Big John change your name to big dumba**. Was your head in the sand through 9/11 and the bankruptcy era? Once rates are gone they are gone for years. AA seems to have the right idea with early outs and reduced credit lines. If the airline needs to work me 50 hours in a month for a few months that’s fine. But it’ll be 55 hours at $250 and hour not 91 hours at 150 an hour. We had to claw rates back after bankruptcy no way do we need to hand them over. No matter what we give them it won’t avoid bankruptcy and they will still want more.

CLAP CLAP!

My sphincter has still not recovered from the last rodeo. And neither has my 401k.

The last rodeo also had oil at $110 bbl, I'll pass on voluntarily giving too.

I’ll put my damage up against anyone on this property. How many times did your posts end up in the redacted federal lawsuit documents?

Ha ha ha. You guys have it all backwards.

You give up concessions to stay out of Chapter 11. If you go into Chapter 11, then you fight.

You guys are fighting concessions, without which there will be no federal bailout. This will most certainly drive us into Chapter 11. Will you fight when the corporation declares Chapter 11?

History says you won’t.

You are infants.

You’re assuming that’s the entirety of their give. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. No way Mnuchin hands them $10-12B without paycuts to the workforce.

Oil didn’t get to those levels until 2008. The full misery of the BK contract had been locked in for nearly 3 years by then.

Seriously, give it up. Your transparency by interjecting some anti company anti CEO upper level management statement to try and bring some credibility to your ranting is laughable. It might work on young children but adults are playing here.

And if you were some hot headed fool writing statements that involved you in a lawsuit you wouldn't be the type whining like a little girl about pay cuts. FWIW far as I'm concerned, I will not agree to 1 cent in concessions. The company needs cash? They can sell all their now worthless stock they insisted on purchasing back with record profits.

Don't bother replying, you're on my ignore list. Adios

By "last rodeo" I meant the recession, unfortunately for you and I it's was like the Star Wars series. Gulf War, 9/11, SARS, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, Recession, and now this. Hurray for us.
