[QUOTE="jeepguy63, post: 989464, member: 4863"] For the last several years, the third quarter gets squeezed like no other. Every year it's a different reason/ theory out of corporate. Declining savings from compounded improvements in safety, economic challenges domestically, economic challenges internationally, Chinese New Year, Operating day differences YOY, unknown pension accrual impact, declining savings from compounded productivity increases.......All reasons to squeeze more out of the rock in July and the third quarter. I expect this coming week to hear from the controller - "The sky is falling." Won't hear much about any dissatisfaction with the sales results. Premium products continue to decline, while sure post is coming out of our ears. There is some number they report - like they are 20% effective at getting 40% of their people on plan. It rolls off their tongue so slipperily, I usually miss it - even though I can't even grasp the concept of such a dismal number. In any event - Operators, get lots of rest this weekend. Monday begins Hell Quarter. [/QUOTE]
