Felt it north of LAX. 'Course, had about 10 eleven year olds running around at a birthday party so the quake was the easy part. Kind of a slow wave-like motion this time. I've been thru five or so out here in 8 years. They've all been remarkably different in intensity. I've had a couple of landings in DTW that were scarier.

All good. A "shallow" quake they're calling it. Still, 5.1 isn't anything to sniff at. They're starting to increase in frequency though. They seem to flow like meteor storms out here. We've had a few lean years. Let's hope this isn't the beginning of something larger....especially now that we're starting to kick some serious Eskimo butt.

I utilize the same technique, rsv or not.... The last morning/afternoon of a trip when I shave is the last time I shave before my next trip. Whether sexy stubble or full on wolfman result, that is what it is. I love making my neighbors think I'm an almost homeless alcoholic drug addict that can't get out of bed before noon on most days.

I'm thinking the merger/consolidation "ship has sailed" with Alaska. Who knows though? Growing up I never thought a military veteran's "EARNED" retirement benefits would be threatened by an un-Constitutional, uber-liberal, continue to pay-the-unemployed, income-equality-minded Commander-in-Chief like we have today. Guess that showed me.

Wow. There was a "picket to titsburgh" moment if I ever saw one.

I think tsquare was only asking for the salt.

Just got done reading the CAPA report and it occurred to me, what if the big push is to build brand and name recognition in the Pacific Northwest before the merger and the Alaska name goes away.

Kind of put the kernel in everyone's mind that Delta was there before anyone else who would try to come in after a Delta/Alaska merge?

What is the gate availability for us in SEA? Any restrictions on our future growth there?

Yeah, I forgot who mentioned that same thought earlier but it really is ruining the fun of dreaming about mass organic expansion.

I guess it was all just a Seattle wet dream.


Get it? Seattle, always wet, dreaming about Seattle = Seattle wet dream.

Not only how old, but haven't they hired a significant amount if their seniority list (i.e. 20-25%) in the last six years?
