I know, as with any solution, that you wind up trading one bag of bullshit for another most times, but you got to admit, some shit is easier to take.Econo-Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710293494850428244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-1138700455112362092006-01-31T04:40:00.000-05:002006-01-31T04:40:00.000-05:00Lewis, glad you're paid a lot.

And glad that a personal experience on the Mayor's part let's him know that.Econo-Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710293494850428244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-1138679990489897462006-01-30T22:59:00.000-05:002006-01-30T22:59:00.000-05:00What CEOs do borders on criminal.

Did I say toilet paper? I meant to say stock in the company. Same thing. <BR/><BR/>Everyone takes pay cuts, except for top management. They get bonuses AND toilet paper. Can they fly aircraft? No. Can they push the drink cart on a full flight? No. Can they load and unload bags? No. Yet they are the ones worth all the money. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, UAL goes into bankrupcy. The stock is worth less than toilet paper. Pension plans are abandoned by the company - and dumped on the government. Pilots loose up to 2/3 of their retirement benefits. Jobs are cut. <BR/><BR/>And now management wants more money. They asked the court for 15% of the new stock offering - for free. The court gave them 8%. What a crock of crap. <BR/><BR/>I am GLAD I do not work in the private sector. Not that I am totally safe from budget cuts, but at least the Mayor does not look at my job and think "if I can cut this guy, I can make MORE for myself".The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.com
