Yup, and all management has to do is hit the reset button (Chptr 11) to negate all you've negotiated for years and years.... (UAL, NWA, DAL, TWA, CONT, FRONTIER, MESA are there more? uhuh..)... Didn't DAL ask their pilots for a billion in concessions to keep them out of CH11-- and then went CH11!!!! Last I recall, JB has not asked for one concession during tough times or even furloughed one pilot-- yet...(although I'm sure someone will spin the health care costs as concessionary). I'm sorry, ALPA is the UAW of the airline industry... Can't and won't support it...

oh yeah, it's the UAW's fault GM continued to build Hummers, SUV's and Pick-ups (with sky high oil prices) instead of fuel efficient cars (while paying out huge bonuses and dividends) rather than investing in new technologies like Ford did. Yeah, those unions at Alaska, SWA, Delta, FedEx etc are reeeeally screwing up their companies. Concessions? We made money all through this recession...why would they ask for concessions when we made (and are continuing) to make money.

All the CFO has to do is 'hit the reset' button?

That is funny you are repeating this talking point.

All the CFO has to do is wipe out all shareholder wealth FIRST with the reset button in order to get at parts of what was negotiated and this reset button needs to be approved by a third party - Federal BK Courts.

That is sort of different than the unilateral 'info notice' FSM change process.

Concession? The entire FSM was a concession and was given to Jetblue by pilots scrambling over each other to earn a VP or CP position.

Hey Blue,

I have flown with you out of MCO. You and your twin brother. Your brother has way more class then you will ever have.

People like you are the reason we need a third party on the property. Maybe if you acted like your brother, you would have some friends to fly with. The avoid list in MCO has TB, BF(you not your brother) and CT.

Enjoy yourself, you self center brat. Act more like your brother would ya?

Blue, Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes......your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for......brother. SO! you have a twin brother! Your feelings have now betrayed him, too. ALPA was wise to hide him from me. Now their failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Dark Side... then perhaps he will...
