Ummmmmm. You must not be around SFO much. We're always trying to have a good time at work! :-)

You're right, I don't overnight there much and most my time is spent down south, SAN, LAX, etc. Congrats on the merger

I couldn't disagree with you more! Most of my friends at VX are terrified of a merger with AS. They like VX and the culture that has been established there. They also know that because of their junior longevity that they could really take a haircut with regards to the impending ISL.

Clearly your "friends" are flight attendants. I haven't flown with one pilot who is terrified about this deal. Of course the integration is a concern but overall we couldn't be happier this merger is taking place. Two great pilot groups coming together to dominate the west coast is definitely exciting!
