John Remington Quotations

We are always trying to look for unique ideas, and we wanted something new for New York. We thought that hey, it's an island, let's do something on the water...New Yorkers have pretty high expectations.

He clearly does not want to get in the middle of the parties and leave them worse off than they were. He will do everything he can to coerce a final settlement.

I think it is about both. Not only does it help the financial situation, but it sends an appropriate message to employees that they're not the only ones being asked to bite the bullet.

I think it's an attempt to expand it beyond the immediate work force. It's actually directed primarily at those who may be wavering.

The pilots would argue they're free to strike, and the airline would argue they legally couldn't. It's unclear. But the pilots are satisfied they could legally strike. And if they can't, they may do it anyway.

The pay cuts are pretty draconian. Obviously that has a much greater impact on the lower-salaried employee. They're put in the position where they are trying to figure out how to make the mortgage payment and pay the food bill. It's a little bit different if you make $600,000 a year.

Filing for bankruptcy doesn't make this one go away, ... It may make it less urgent to deal with, but the fact of the matter is these guys are still on strike, and they're still hurting Northwest's business to some extent.

Things like the vertical fashion show and our advertising are the 'expect more' piece of it, ... The expect more side of it has made it OK for anyone to come to Target.

Northwest may suspect there is some disaffection in the ranks (of AMFA),

as an attempt to break the union, and at best is simply an unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of the organization. It's like a poison pill.

It really would elevate the level of conflict.

It's saber-rattling time and they'll play this out to the end. We'll see who blinks first.

Target is proud to be a returning sponsor of the 'Night Before' supporting the Motion Picture & Television Fund. We are thrilled to be part of this exciting evening, and we hope everyone will enjoy our custom-designed gifts from Thomas O'Brien.

They can't survive a strike by the pilots for more than 24 hours.

If you really slash executive compensation and perks too much, there will be inclination for people to want to leave.

If he refuses to enjoin (a strike), Northwest will be in federal court trying to find a judge who will. And if he does enjoin a strike, the union would go to court.

A lengthy strike by the pilots ? probably anything over 30 days ? would be a disaster. I don't think the pilots would strike with the intention of putting Northwest out of business. Miscalculation. That's the problem.
