Btw, what is the IMSAFE checklist, I must have missed the memo.
Maybe it wasn't on the CD this quarter!
Let's see. How about, I'M SAFE(R)?

I - International Flying: Why are our code share partners ordering widebody aircraft while we tout an order for 737-900's to replace some of our 757's and 767's? All this while the new United has 100 747-400's and 777's. Delta has 34.

M - Money: When a Southwest 737 taxi's by, can we honestly say we make enough money?

S - Scope: Do we have tight and enforced scope language? (See next two below)

A - Alaska Airlines: Why are they expanding 5-6% (while we are shrinking)?

F - Frontier Airlines: Why are they touting themselves as the fastest growing major airline (while we are shrinking)?

E (R) - Enriched Retirement: What can we do to get a better retirement plan? Because, like Scambo said, "Without a pension, an airline job is just a job. Pension being the differentiator for me between a career and a job."
