Tony, congrats on the SAPA deal. I hope that if ALPA does get voted in, people like you get involved to keep the guys who are in it to screw the company out.

The Bro was fun to fly. Obviously, the bigger the base the more variation in schedules there is going to be. The jet probably gets longer breaks so you can eat. It seems like we would go all day on 20 minute turns. And, I had a crappy commute so I usually ended up with poorer paying trips.

I can't imagine upgrades staying low, unless we get some new flying. Contrary to what most think, we are losing around 20 per month, not 30. So if you get hired and your seniority number is 2900, and you have to be around 2000 to be a captain, I figure around three years or so to move up 900 spots. That is the way I figure it, take it for what it is worth. And like they said earlier, 3.5 years to be a junior guy in Denver. Good luck and I hope this helps.
