So for the accumulator, if we are talking about parking airplanes, is roughly 17 narrow body aircraft for our current fleet today? Or the block hour equivalent of that? Or 20 airplanes if we get the 90's and 717's? Remember this is just domestic 767(non ER) and below flying and does not include international pulldown or up tick. I have the slide, but will not publish it. I looked though my files and had it from right when the TA came out. Slow and Alfa referenced the number on here at well. Again, my point and contention came from the fact that we still will see the first round our two of contraction before we even get close to DCI having to contract. |

No cheerleading but, dude, we are way over due for some bar talk. We could solve all kinds of problems.
Ok, well, nobody else would care, but think of the possibilities. A fighter dude and an airlifter? Einstein. Ferd PS. No pole dancers in PDX tonight either, ok ok it is Sunday |

Waves,
I voted no. If the TA passes-- and I think it will-- I will pray we expand like gangbusters and things work out just like the MEC said they would. I would much rather be wrong than proven right. Unlike some, sitting on the sideline and throwing rocks does not sound appealing to me. |

For me we can rationalize the gains, but the quids are what made my decision hard. Pay is temporary, but work rules and scope are difficult to fix once gone.

Yeah, I can't effectively argue with that my friend. As a past perpetual no voter, it truly pains me to abandon this fight and vote yes, but I truly think that renegotiating this TA will only derive minimal gains while incurring huge risk and potentially lost opportunity. Only time will tell who is correct. Let me make this perfectly clear: I respect the fighters. Without you guys we would be working for McDonald wages. I would like to consider myself as one of you, but shamefully I don’t qualify this round. Keep up the fight my friends. Fires at the home front. Must run!

http://www.ebengregory.com/wp-conten...y-confused.png So I had to look V16 up on a map, hoping this dude was following a 221 course. It took me a while but once I finally figured out how to read the LIFR chart I saw 221 was right. But you can fly 221 on your perfect compass, have 221 dialed on the VOR and your GPS showing you on 221, and be in LAX. Who knows, she wins I'm sure, but I was kind of hoping for a gotchya moment. |

Doc Holliday: I beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish. "Play for Blood," remember? Johnny Ringo: Oh that. I was just foolin' about. Doc Holliday: I wasn't. Not too many characters better than Doc Holliday..... :D |

I'm completely with you that the ratio could be a little tighter. You have to get a ratio provision first. This happens now, we tighten it in 2.75 years on our next opener (or sooner if any "other" things happen before then).
I would absolutely LOVE to see sun-setting on all DCI. Parking new aircraft will be too expensive for the beancounters, just like parking the 50s are today. |

Had the deal been for 777s instead of 717s, one memo would have been sufficient, and it would have passed.
