I think it's more the 757 that's the Honey Badger...

There. Fixed it for you:

We will have a really good idea of its value pretty quickly.
We'll put our best and brightest on to it.



We're going to set up subcommittees to dissect all of the different sections of the TA.

At the end of the day it'll be like a scene out of Apollo 13 where every department checks in with a "GO... flight leader? GO... Gordo? GO!" And so on.

The all important APCF seal of approval will be 5 underboobs out of 5. Anything less, well, will be flat.

Don't worry, your not alone. There are about 4500 other folks that wish the merger never happened, but we'll get over it to, eventually.

I'm not saying that I wished it never happened. I think it was the best thing for both carriers knowing that consolidation is becoming a reality. If chenge had never happened in the industry, I would have rather remained stand alone. That being said, I'm well over it, and it's time to kick ass. If you haven't gotten over it.. well.. best of luck.

Precisely. We're a team now and a damn good one. Five years from now, we'll all look back and be very thankful that we pulled off the previously unimaginable. See US Air, UCAL, and whomever AMR ends up with.
