Buffett Bites Back at NetJets Pilot Complaints

Too big of a jump? How do you figure?

BK two years later?

Yes my career has not hit the high notes to which you allude, there is an element of luck and timing in this career that play a role well beyond our ability to control. But as I approach the end of my career I have come to realize my sights are only low in others eyes. This country had been very good to me. I am very comfortable with my lot in life. I get great satisfaction from looking at the pilots I mentored and the friends I have made over the years. I am financially secure. I want for nothing. I am still married to my college sweetheart after 50 years. My kid and grand kids are successful. I am happy, what more it there in life?

BTW: As posted before I lived my childhood dream of being a Navy pilot, and that experience of a first tour junior officer in combat is something I would never trade for anything. If the tooth fairy came by and said I will guarantee you a career at DAL if you give up that experience as a Navy pilot, I would tell her pack sand.

I have to respect a very good post

Keep in mind, Southwest is contract negotiations. The pay and retirement will be going even higher.

1973 I paid about 10 cents for a candy bar at Seven eleven.

Today I paid $1.39.

That's why wages must go up. That's why the time value of money matters.

Ok. I'll make it simple for you.

1) "How do you figure?" As in: give me numbers. If you can't, your opinion is invalid. Since you don't have a clue what you're talking about and don't have access to any numbers, I'm standing by for your highly detailed analysis.

2) A BRK company in bankruptcy? HAAAHAHAHGAAHGGAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

BWAAAHAHHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Whew. That is funny.

Not gonna happen. WB will intervene long before as he did with Santulli.

Please explain how you know this and your education in finance and understanding of corporate law.

Honestly why anyone would listen to you in regards to a companies finances is beyond me.

Just because you don't think it can happen for whatever reason means you have no data.

Let's hear it and educate us.

It is all in the history book, look it up yourself. UAL was never profitable after the 2000 contract was signed. The pilots had destroyed the load factors with job actions, the internet had made it easier to find other ways to get around, then came 9-11 mass lay offs followed by BK. It was a perfect storm with contract proving a sinking boat.

Load factors? Internet? 9/11?

Seriously?

Do you even understand what we do?

Wow I can't believe your whole thesis is built on the above.

Shaking head.

Seriously?.

Does that apply to anything posted here?
