Tiger ....Guy?
hahahahaha....
.....and where is THAT quote?
Atlas isn't paid a "salary" and Erickson never said that.
And, if you don't have a "dog in this fight" then why say anything? And why would you walk a picket line without having a dog in the fight? All of us had pretty much called it quits on this thread (I certainly had) - until you found the need to post. wtfo?
Oh and which picket line did you walk? The one that picketed the Dimond parking lot on 7th avenue in ANC? Or perhaps you were on the line in Burwash Landing that struck the whole state of Alaska? Or maybe you were on the line in SEA that struck the entire continent of North America? Tell me oh wise one - WHERE DOES IT END?
READ THE THREAD. The 'roids were not picketing the common enemy! They were focused on the only entity in the world that could have REALLY helped them - the Atlas pilots. They were picketing individual Atlas pilots, not AAWWH. Why?
Pat,
Maybe you can explain it. If you figured that AAWWH would come back to the table from the mourning for their "lucrative" Japan landing rights then WHY did you feel the need to focus on individual Atlas pilots and not picket the office or the airport like you should have.
The simple answer is that your MEC felt that the only way he was going to get movement from the company was by shutting down Atlas through the pilots. When the ATLAS pilots shut down ANC - and AAWWH got a TRO, it backfired. AAWWH could have (within the TRO) required Atlas pilots to fly Polar Cargo and Polar routes as well as Polar airplanes (if they could have shifted them to the certificate in time). The simple fact of the matter is that the TRO is why Bobbbbb even went back to the table - because he recognized that the TRO was REALLY bad for you guys. Sorry but "thems the facts."
