I wouldn't doubt it, would you?

We haven't hit hurricane hysteria yet either and there is always something exploding in Houston to send it skyrocketing and the Muslim Brotherhood probably has more activities planned.

We've got a long way to go and the problem is they'll put the bulls-eye right on our DC9s. But 1 DC9 = 2 CRJ200s+. Start flying more point-to-point-to-hub stuff like the good ole days and LEAVE OUR 9's ALONE!

As to CMR, no love lost there, however, when it comes to hiring I hope they take DOH into consideration and look at the junior folks like say a Boomer. It's kind of like looking at a CAL pilot and going "SCAB!" Well, that was a pretty narrow window in the 1980s when super scabs existed and you might question why anyone would've gone there post that time period but by the time you get to the mid 90s, not really the same thing. I say that because when I was hired at Coex you didn't really know anything about unions or union history. You were busy flying your butt off and teaching the Shiznit's and Beer's of the world how to fly while picking their nose or to open the air vents prior to "lettin' one go." Of course once you get to the majors and fly the 757 with its fart shield you don't need that type of training.

But again, no love lost for that airline and whoever participated, supported or quietly supported the Delta furlough events.
