If you don't listen to anything else that I say, know that the one thing that I have gleaned from being a "beaten down" US pilot is that if it ain't in very specific writing Parker will make your life miserable.
At the very moment that Parker got AA to throw Horton out, the employees became nothing but red ink- forever. Parker is never ever going to look at labor any other way. Shareholders like it. The board likes it. He's doing his job. At this point, I don't care which way this goes but at least know who you are dealing with. He is not offering you early money for nothin. You are not a human being. You are red ink and he will get it somewhere else.

They're reading to start holding up Piggly Wiggly's to get their high.
Most of us exist somewhere in the middle of the bell.

Not likely. Doug has shown his colors, made (and squandered) that all-important first impression and is now a known quantity. It really doesn't matter how the JCBA is resolved. Anderson's gotta be popping bottles of Chateauneuf du pape knowing his domination over AA is now assured.

Well, like it or not, let's just say there ARE a few junkies lurking about and some thinking about trying the drug they're trumpeting are falling for their tales of brave Ulysses.

(Oh..wait a minute...bad choice, maybe for inline. You have to pass a "knowledge test" and a "psyche eval" to get a class at Delta. Well...maybe United, then!)

Don't worry.....by the end of the day, it's likely to become a square.
