NONE liked it!! its this easy, half were insulted, billions coming in, huge executive bonus' and billions spent on planes, clubs, new roll outs, upgrades in every area but labor, and were not just no but HELL NO! the other half hated it too, but felt with forced arbitration we had little choice and were voting for (bad) rather than (worse). and what little they were offering was better than what the arbitrator would give (unknown) the important thing here for us (shareholder) is there is a very short window for the decision, so we can hit the speed bump and get back to business. i am looking forward to the dec 9 anniversary for institutional investments, and the buyback to move forward, will help PPS. two other unions are negotiating pilots and mechanics, so there will be opportunities for day traders here, with continued volatility. but a lot of good things in the pipeline. and many flight attendants holding out for D parker to choose quick solution and better relationship with labor by throwing a few extra crumbs to resolve it before arbitration. think about it. we saved them a billion (with a B) in savings (payouts) to try and fend off BK, and the raise in contract was 193 mil (with a M) and now will be 111 mil (with an M) there profits alone this year will be several Billion (with a B) the amount we asked for was less than 1%. had they offered an extra 50 million to off set the billions they were suppose to share with us in profit sharing it would have passed. Delta f/a's just received a 15K dollar profit sharing EACH, a bonus, its not gauarnteed but it can buy a lot of groceries, and pay a lot of rent
