Default Horton strikes back!

Ouch. Maybe US pilots should publicly back AA management.

Parker and Horton both have huge egos, their greed will never be satisfied. Horton wants more than 60 million and Parker will not be satisfied with $20 million change in control. US Airways pilots back Horton just to P.Off Parker. I like that.

I think the R57 relay was on the 727, that was my intention. After I signed up I wondered if it was R53. Two full days on the electrical system in PI ground school, so it should have stuck, but it's been a few years. ;-)

You must have been instructed by Captain KVAR. Good memories.

Indeed they were.

Maybe we could use Horton to pressure Doug, and if it ****es him off? C'est la vie. He has seemed too worried about us being ****ed, right?

Do you think the AMR/US Air merger is a done deal and will happen?

Did you miss the part about an AA/US merger the only way to pay for employee aka pilot raises? Why don't you just shoot yourself in the foot too.

I don't, but it's just a gut feeling. Parker and Horton's interests are contradictory, so that needs to be worked out.

Do you believe that? It's just that Parker has chosen to make it that way, and we have allowed it. He could change it, doubt he will, or we can get one when the legal battle is over.
