If any of the rumors I am hearing are remotely true then things are on the up and up at purple!

8 months out from hiring.
Lots of 777's orders.

Things are brown are not so good. Our "management" people decided it was a good thing to put out UPS had the highest profit margin in the Cargo business. Same time we are putting people on the street.

Things are much better at Purple than at Brown. That is for sure!!!

And...
#11) Flag is not coming system wide. FAA bought off on supplemental and flag ops simultaneously.

I don't like this one a bit. I heard it from a reliable source/from a friend's relative who heard it from a crew bus driver.

This is exactly how bad rumors get started.. there is one crew bus driver out there with bad gouge and giving the rest of the drivers a bad rap!!!

don't you mean a bad "rep" (as in reputation)?

unless of course that crewbus driver is also a rapper....

then, it makes perfect sense......he gave a bad rap to the other crewbus drivers......hence everyone's confusion about the rumors....
