Good thing we subsidize pilot groups whose agendas are no aligned with ours. Yay, ALPA.

"Last week, after careful consideration, your MEC voted to refund a substantial portion of the SMRA to the Delta pilots. After reviewing our current and projected finances, the MEC elected to refund SMRA excesses from 2004, 2006 and 2010.
These were years when excess funds existed that were not subsequently used in deficit years. In total, $7,081,729 will be refunded on a pro-rata basis."

will the common rating of the A350 & A330 have any bearing on our WB order?

At least when Putin sees this, his blood will run cold and there will be no Tupolev's challenging the sovereign airspace of the United States of America!
Way to go Buzz!
And take off that Che Guevera shirt Bar, you look ridiculous.

Sorry, my cynical alter-ego got ahold of my IPad while I was outside.

It was less than two years ago. I gave the entire amount to the Delta Pilots Charitable Fund.
