Evidently, Carl has that affect on women, I guess thats just the cross he has to bear, like FTB.
So Buzz, you're the world class writer, affect or effect, did I do it right?

And that ^^^^^ is why I didn't finish the movie. I thought it was a comedy, it was like a horrible tragedy and a reminder of life as an airline pilot and I turned it off. Of course that was in my coex days where being an airline pilot sucked.

I'm kind of naive, so what does that mean

What if the SEC doesn't exist when you get back?

If their strike continues for long or even worse lose their jobs, we have an obligation to help them out. Our unity will also send a very clear message to airline managements across the country.
Just an idea for our union folks to look into. Strictly a volunteer program. May be the union should publish and send an e-mail with a guideline on how much to donate and where to donate. May be our union leadership should join hands with some other airline and collectively do this endeavour.
Lets not forget the Falcon Air pilots who banged in sick without a union to keep from flying in replacement of Spirit. So much so they brought that operation to its knees.
