Who Bought Cat?????????

[freightdogfred]

Hey, the writing was on the wall a long time ago, those who chose to ignore it did so at their own peril. Tony Romeo has milked the Emery Tit right down to the last spoiled drop, and now will cash out and go. The guys who were properly qualified before will find work, the PFT's will get screwed . (they deserve it for giving that weasel 30 grand for a job in the first place.) CAT now takes it's place in a long list of contractors who got screwed by Emery/CNF/Menlo...

General
ONA
Spirit of America
Orion
Ryan
Rosenbalm
First Air
Southern
EWA

So, why isn't anyone saying what happened? This is why I don't agree with how 747flyboy was going about things. If I am to guess, nothing good has happened in the last couple of days. But his posts were probably getting people's hopes up when it wasn't warranted. Not good to play with people's hopes like that. I hope I'm wrong, and I've read these cryptic posts incorrectly, but if I'm right, maybe this won't happen again in the future.

Optimistic and hoping, thats all. Unfortunately shooting yourself in the foot is what happened. A big company would be quite stupid to buy CAT the way it is right now. They would just be bailing Romeo out and thats all that Romeo and the management wants, IMO.

Answer A B or C

I heard that Henry George paid back a bunch of people last week because CAT was furloughing its people.......is that true?

747flyboy, rumors are still floating that Mirabilis is still interested, just waiting for Tony Romeo's desperation, is this true? Or is it just B.S.? I am ready for unemployment, but wouldn't mind a paycheck for a while longer.

That would mean that A, B, & C just took place.

Did you get a furlough letter yet? I know of many people who told me they did. My boss has yet to be informed fully about the cargo industry, FROM EXPERTS IN THE FIELD, not just from a meeting with CAT management. The "ONLY" person who's interestes I have in mind are my bosses, so nothing is said and done yet. If its not a good deal it won't happen. Especially with a company that has dinasours as airplanes and ZERO business for them. It's quite apparent to me and many experts that I've consulted with about this that the ONLY reason Tony Romeo wants to sell it is to "escape" from this industry, rather than keep it going. Desperation is the key word.

I know of one person who got a partial refund on Monday from Henry, but thats it. Supposedly everyone got full refunds, still waiting to here back from a bunch. Its a big matter of ethics, thats all.

I am glad your "Boss" has "experts" advising him/her. I am not an "expert" but I can tell you Tony Romeo is a "businessman" and has made "millions" from CAT and other "cargo" airlines. That's the type of "thing" people like that "do." I don't think Romeo is "desperate."

No offense, but you sorta sound like a jackass as well as your mysterious boss. Something makes me feel like you are full of mr. hankey.

FYI "Ethics" do not exist in south Florida. One would think a 747 flyboy would know that.
