Bingo.. I wanted it to happen as much as anyone else, and I wanted ALPA to help facilitate that.

Unfortunately ALPA didn't see any motivation to even try (in doing so tabling all resultions from LEC's), and we'll never know what could have happened.

Regardless, we've got a trend vector moving in the right direction now, and the key is going to be to apply pressure to keep it that way and additionally to help it extend further in that direction.

Sorry, but I busted a gut on this one

Tim Martins could fly all these new airplanes, saving the company TONS of money on pilots.

Twinkles the hairless cat would have survived in the cold cargo hold if Tim Martins were flying.

Snickers, actually. And just being on the same plane with Tim Martins will put hair on any cat.

I heard a nasty rumor that that tool is still flying around somewhere. Commutair perhaps? That was the last place I had heard he managed to get an interview at.

Skeezy bastard.

Commutair thought he would be a great addition to their pilot list.

One more reason ALPA should have printed a retraction and called that tool out.
