Look we are not going to agree and truthfully I don't respect your opinion. You may have the last word.

Of course I expect no respect for my opinions. I am just what I like to think of as a union realist. There are limitations on what a union can do. To raise expectations too high leads to disappointment. This is from a former IBT and ALPA guy whose companies went out of business.

So the UAL job actions of 2000 had nothing to do with forcing the contract the was going to give give 35% pay raises?

That big contract was a bribe to smooth the way for the proposed UAL/USAir merger that was in the works. Although the job action may have been a factor.

"Bribe" is the exact term the UAL guys at the BoD used to describe it.
