I'm not being naive, there is just no point in taking shots in the dark about all the things that could go bad for the pilot group. If you want to worry about something how about those poor Air Jam guys
Nah man. LOL

I have boycotted that board until today. But in my defense I wrote this response prior to going and signing into the "I want to commit Suicide" board. Had someone already said something negative I would have only been positive. But I have a bad sun burn and am going on 4 hours of sleep with about 20 mosquito bites to match. Maybe I was just grumpy.

I don't like being the downer, DANG IT.

I agree with GRD, it is not the end of the world. I like to think positive about it. Everything is going to be fine. Quan

It seems AJM's operating cost is not very attractive. $0.141 CASM based on this link (it opens a power point page 12):

If that is true the incentive to have them operate a/c that was destined to NK is remote. I am sure it will take a long time to bring their cost down to NK levels. I am not afraid. This is good news.

Orbitz is no longer showing A320s as equipment on flights in the spring. I wonder what our friends in Miramar are up to.

On the contrary...now is the perfect time to fret what could possibly happen down the road. With another round of negotiations starting today, I hope our negotiating committee spent the weekend exploring all possible scenarios.

ORBITZ does not even show SPIRIT by the end of MAY 2010, we dont even exist that far in the future, (less than 11 months ahead)...

Stop trying to guess the future and pick up a hobby...

If that's what you think will help, just remember to pop some tums. I myself like to pass my time with a hobby like sailor said. I got another glass if you ever want to give it a try.
