Burn it down

No ********************, (and by that I agree with you ONE THOUSAND %) what AE has proposed is a friggin laugh. It will do nothing but harm the entire DX industry.

It doesn't sound like they want Eagle around as anything but a marketing brand with the lowest bidders doing the work.

But hey, they would get a whopping 1.5% increase in pay in 3 years!

The dispatchers would be better off starting their own company and contracting their work to AE.. This is the beginning of the end for this profession as we know it.. Terrible... wonder what hits management is taking...

And did'nt we just see a Dx ad recently for training in SJU? then on the DFW?
