Exactly.

The stock ALWAYS drops during a strike. You had until Sept 30th to buy back through their plan. They paid out shares at 87.00 they are buying them back at 55. 00- 57.00 they make 30.00 on every share they buy back.

They gambled people will sell during a strike because they need cash.

We should be able to sell our shares back to the company for the same price they paid them out to us. OR give us the option of cash in place of shares.

They will lose the interest they would have had on that money if it were sitting in their bank account.

It'llbe real interesting to see what kind of bonuses they give each other this year... pleading poverty and all.. you know, having to cut costs and lowering the prices of the planes..

We DID take cuts when the company was in trouble.

The company is riding high for the next 8 years at least.. they can give us a No Takeaway contract for the next 3

Boeing needed that little blurb .. the footnote refering to the strike as a cause for less planes being delivered.

Does anyone really think that being out 28 days caused that many planes to not be ready for delivery? Those planes they are refering to be 'late' were already late and had nothing to do with the strike.

As noted the strike gave them leeway, saved wages, dropped stock and enabled them to buyback the stocks from members who want to cash out on them for far less tha they were issued at (they make back 31.00 a share- what they are doing is backing short selling which is illegal)

They shift the blame from their customers from inept management to a labor dispute.

They are touting hard economic times ahead and a need to 'save' I suppose that would mean they are looking to cut their own wages and bonuses right? I mean, if they REALLY want to put THEIR money where their mouth is.

They could save many MILLIONS right there ~ off the top.

If you are going to walk then you need to walk tall and hold out for a FAIR and HONEST contract.

Congress and the the President can in less than a week find 700 billion dollars to bail out Wallstreet.. but they can't find the money to bail out Social Security or our health care system.

All the pork they added,,, and not a cent of it goes toward our own country's social services.
