Again, I am for action, but can anyone tell me why now is an advantageous time for us to be doing cc and not when the company is more profitable.
Look back at post #2.
Simply said, they will always come up with a financial red ink disaster, where times are tough. And when they can't hide the profits anymore, they drag out the negotiations endlessly, until the down side of the cycle starts again.
Additionally, I have heard through a number of independent sources that suggest that CX senior management (suits, well above the pilots) are of the opinion that there will be an upward turn in the market beginning toward the end of this year and into early 2014.
Yes, now is an advantageous time.
