U guys got bigtime problems. I freely admit it.
I don't like ESOP on principal. I think it clouds the issues. We are labor, they are management, and ESOP is simply a ploy to make you forget that. There is a huge difference between owning an airline and controlling an airline, and I think that is what you guys have been learning.
Even with or without ESOP though, the rank and file F/A's approved a 10 year contract. They bet that the salaries would continue to head down hill. Well they lost the bet (as did the Southwest pilots BTW).
I do agree that the F/A's at Untidy have been lead spectacularly badly...
