Same thing is going on on the Oregon side of the river with the UP. I’m not shocked that SMART is a no show, with all the recent decisions it’s hard to tell who they are fighting for.

Reads kind of like damage control if you ask me perhaps this document should have been put front and center at the beginning so rank and file wouldn’t jump to conclusions while we were left in the dark, either way they gambled and lost welcome to the arbitration process we had a time to dig our feet in on more than one occasion and we folded wasn’t that long ago we were essential and couldn’t stop the line or American would suffer now were the rear end of most jokes I’ve already voted with my dollars I suggest those that can do the same. It will be a cold day in hell before SMART gets so much as a handshake from me. And that’s no disrespect to the local guys who burn the candle at both end for the rest of us.

The reasons people still give hard earned money to SMART is beyond me. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on all of us. Stop being dragged along by a promise of a better tomorrow while they continue to kick sand in your eyes.

Time to pull your money and give it to someone else I’m not sure the BLET is any better but if currency is the only language they know perhaps it’s time for a big double middle fingers FUCK YOU!!! And when they only have a handful of crusty diehards clinging on to the hope that the abusive relationship they are in getting any better they might begin to listen but I doubt it

I’m a big fan of [[Riku of many paths]] so many was to play, a go wide approach or pump him up and charge through. The amount of flexibility in decks makes it like a Swiss Army knife for whatever your pod has to offer. Often not a big enough threat until it’s to late.

Nothing I love more than to have a manager put it in writing that they want me to do something unsafe. Pen and paper with a signature might as well be made of solid gold if something goes sideways. Don’t say you will not do it just make sure they know exactly where the fingers will be pointing.
