    Good. I'm glad to hear it. Instead of laying off workers, cut the salaries of the fat cats. I'm okay with that.

    CUTTING EXECUTIVE PAYCHECKS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVES A COMPANY CAN MAKE. IF ALL THE REST OF THE COMPANIES IN THE WORLD WOULD DO THIS, A WHOLE LOT MORE COMPANIES WOULD BE SOLVENT. LESS BANKRUPTS.

    Do you know who the ATA members are ? It's the owners of the companies. They know exactly what's going on .

    They are also in the process of shutting down the OKC yard. It is huge and has a at least 10 bay shop. They used to be open 24/7 but now are open m-f / 6am to 6pm.

    It also has a huge for sale sign out front.

    It was also the worst terminal in the company. Drivers showers never maintained, and always full of mold, mildew and other unthinkables (I have pictures to even prove that).

    Now if the company wasnt so driven to just have a warm peice of meat in the seat, and train with quality, and hire better....
