[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2265034, member: 58386"] Right on man. we had 3or 4 company ball s^(!er's who thought they were on the fast track to the big time only to find out that they had wrongly assumed that the cheap labor which would be the deciding factor in their success would come running earning for the opportunity to work for nothing. We 3 Day 1 contractors who stayed single route until the end just sat back and smiled because we knew what was coming. They're all gone now and the multi routes who remain have inquired as to whether or not all of the new leg parts will be installed in time to enable me to help them later this year. I love what you said about the contract. It is an economic mine field as evidenced by the contractor relations manager who took me aside and tole me privately that x does not consider any part of it binding upon itself. Once again it all comes down to what our first TM told me in a private conversation more than 20 years ago. " I admit it. it's a rotten deal, the worst I've ever seen in all the years I've been in this business,but you signed it. Now I'll tell you how you can survive. Keep borrowed money to a minimum and limit your exposure to risk and to variable costs to only that which you cannot avoid" . Wise words indeed. [/QUOTE]
