It was never about the price of airfares. This was political. Holder is the hatchetman for the Chicago wing of the left. It was about punishing political foes. It did not cost AMR/LCC, it cost the major STOCKHOLDERS of AMR/LCC. Don't play their ball, pay the price.

Sorry the feds are owned by JPM and Goldman. SAC (Stephen A. Cohen) is on the outs. Did not pay his dues or something but we will not know at our pay grade. This was just punishment meted out.

In a manner of speaking, yes. I think there's going to be a HUGE going away party.

If any of the leadership makes an appearance and alcohol is available, I'd say so with near certainty.

Happy death day to you
Happy death day to you
Happy death day, dear USAPA
Happy death day to you

I'm looking forward to the day when I'm not being forced to fund that bunch of imbeciles ... and now the end is in sight. What does that cross-stitched wall hanging in Warden Norton's office say? "His judgment cometh - and that right soon."

Looks like the end of the Allegheny mafia is at hand.

Cheers to all the pilots. AA/East/West are all becoming one. Just like the DAL/NWA boys and the UAL/CAL boys this will all be in the rearview mirror soon.

The faster we become unified, the faster we will make the contract gains and restoration we all need.

Extremely true.

POR should be done in a few weeks. They are projecting Jan 7, 2014 for joint operations, as in shared gates and codes and all that . That's from a conference call to stations today.
