The Delta pilots kids will be better looking....

Everyone likes different things. But, obviously, it's a tough choice.
Best response I’ve seen to anything on APC. Kudos

I was expecting, “Well, that's the news from Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."

I thought it was a well thought out argument and made a lot of sense. But here you are again bringing up LBP. So why do you want it? So you can make the most money possible while flying domestic trips on an aircraft you’ll be incredibly senior on and bid MCO layovers? That’s been my guess for years while I’ve read your drive by’s. I call them drive by’s because you drop the LBP thing all the time but I’ve never seen your argument for it.

It’s not that we won’t consider it, it’s that it won’t work here with so many fleet types.

Let’s here it STS. (Those are your initials, aren’t they?)

You go by the middle initial...

You are correct. I should stop. I don't want to become like another poster that brings up another subject in every thread in a certain cesspool. Truth be told, I haven't intended to talk about it but I kept getting dragged in on another thread. Wrt the UPS article, I didn't respond because my answer would be too complex, and frankly it is a waste of time to get into long winded discussions on an anonymous forum. Find me one on one sometime and we can discuss it over a beer. I'll even buy.

I apologize and will cease and desist. I readily admit it is hard to lay off of a high inside pitch though.

So why do you have interest in LBP?
