Easy Tsquare, his post very very positive.

Well the aforementioned is definitely foul but he isn't in the way of Keenster or yours truly to any airplanes that we flew before the last merger.....By the way I wonder if it is true that he has worn a Delta uni before.

Did not mean it in a flamebait way. Just expalining why I have not upgraded and may not be able to in the future. I don't call stating the facts of your proposed list flameaiting nor would I call you a flamebaiter by stating the facts of our proposal. Obviously I have hit a nerve here possibly. Reverse the position, you probably would be having a fit if nwa guys with a junoir date of hire were going in front of you, but that is not a possiblilty for you is it. Anyway no offense meant by my post, it is just a statement of exactly what Me -all myself, and I am facing.

buy you a beer somewhere

Guess you already have your widebody capt seat. Glad for you. My appologies if I have offended you. Oh yes I agree get on with it.

I'm not gonna get dragged into this... and I'll accept the beer.

Naaaaah, it's just a 767ER. And I am sure that regardless of how this turns out, you will be able to hold it too. I just hope you can't bump me out.. IF you can stoop to flying non-premium widebody airplanes...

keenster

Well, I sure don't want to bump you out. That would not be right. Hopefully no one bumps anyone in this deal. Anyone hoping to bump someone is looking for personal gain at the expense of someone else. All I want out of this deal is the same chance that I had after waiting 23 years to get my shot at a 330 capt seat before the merger occurred. That basically means getting to move up into those seats as a NWA guys retires. Not really looking or expecting to get a widebody seat out of the Delta side of the equation. However, it would be nice to share the growth(above and beyond what flying both sides bought ot the table) in all widebody seats that results from this merger on a 1 for 1 basis. But that growth will probably turn into a big argument. So, I don't think that trying to keep the forward movement that I had before when a NWA guy leaves( and about 250 have gone since this started) is asking a whole lot. We will see. As for what is fair on the new SLI, that will all ways remain a tough deal. No side will see that the other side got a bad or a good deal, this is my guess. I could be wrong. I would like to see them go right down the middle of the 2 proposals. I think that way it would be well, I lost but not as bad as it could have been.

Tomorrow will tell and good luck to all of us. We have bigger fish to fry in the future.

You are a good man, I don't care what Carl says about you . Hopefully we can really get down to the task of restoring this profession to where it once was.. regardless of who is in the White House... or at the head of ALPA...
