My point is, don't plan on lapping up that gravy. Overtime is ethereal. It takes a certain amount of horsepower and luck to realize it. I apparently, have neither. Its great if you can get it, but don't base your budget on it.

I'm sucking min guarantee eggs right now. Tho I've checked the VDO box, I'd probably have better luck trying to score a date with (insert your generations hottie here).

It's a double whammy right now...the flying has disappeared and we are still overstaffed by 20-25 guys. I'm sure the pendulum will swing to the other extreme before too long. 40 guys on reserve on any given day? That's a little overkill.
