Lemme guess, since we just announced a codeshare with WestJet, any Canada flying will now on be on WestJet...
Maybe we can have an Enhanced Marketing Agreement with WestJet :roll eyes:

George,
+ 1. Management seems more interested in outsourcing than anything else. I guess that is what the markets want to see. Problem is, in my opinion, the markets put too much emphasis on short term bumps in stock price vice looking at the long haul. That may be great if your investing (even though many, including yours truly think its shortsighted) but I am not so sure its good if you are concerned about a 30 year career.
Oh well this is DALPAs chance to shine.

Regardless, I overreacted yesterday to the bid award. I let the backslide get to me and shouldn't have. Far worse things have happened to people around here.
For that I apologize. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Yet when you're there you'll constantly hear "DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO HOLD THAT SEAT YOU'RE IN!?" Um... okay, want me to feel bad about it? Or how about I go tell the company no new hires on the ER, do you mind removing us? Or... how about just hush and let me enjoy this fwiw.
I mean the only reason I am here is become nobody else wants to be here. This isn't 1990 and Delta has evolved. And besides before your jealousy clouds your mind anymore - who's fault is it that nobody wants NYC 7ER B reserve?
Heck, it might take me 10 years before I have the seniority I want in ATL 88 B to move off reserve. In 10 years a 26 year old new hire might be able to hold ATL 88 A within 3 years of being hired. Not their fault. Can't blame them. Can't be jealous either.
As to ATL being senior - it's senior. And we haven't even closed CVG, the other base we promised not to close.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
And if you're on a long overnight just remember that Cracker Barrel is open and they have traditional thanksgiving food!
Heck I'm off and still might be there! Sick kiddos as of late last night can't go mix with other kiddo's at the in-laws.
...or we may just do it anyways.
Wha? Her nose is running? Just wow! What's with her voice? That's so funny, she wasn't like that on the drive up... pass me some more of that casserole will ya...

Happy Thanksgiving APC!
I lifted this from a post in the ALPA forum....
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to
change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he
could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the
parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out
onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and
actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
