Hi Steve, Just returned from 10 days of geyser gazing at Yellowstone. Glad to see ratification of the contract by the IAM workers. I think it's good for the workers and the company. BA is attempting to initiate significant productivity improvements. Everything I've read on re-engineering the corporation emphasizes the importance of rewarding the surviving workforce. I think this contract does that. The notion that companies can operate under the draconian rules of the past is foolish, of course, even though arrogance and greed may tempt an over ambitious management to try from time to time. Glad to see it not happen at Boeing (yet). It looks like BA won a nice contract today for government spy satellites re: biz.yahoo.com I don't know what it's going to take to get this stock to break out of its current range, however. I haven't noticed a correlation between contract announcements and changes in the price of the stock. Larry

I would say we got a good contract Steve.. I like the 25 % increase in retirement.. Would like to see that a few more times and we might catch the Teamsters..I am out of Boeing stock right now.. sold 30% of the vip on the little pop we had on a monday before we voted on the contract. It had been up 2 point that day during the day..I got 15/16..It was up the next day a little so I wish I would have waited a day..The market is playing with 11,000 so the unions have not ruined the country just yet. Have a high school friend that is retiring at 50 from Ford in K.C. in March. they have 80 and out.. age + service time.. he will have 30 years in. His name is steve also.
