You'd have a point if he and his underlings weren't nearly all fNW. Kind of kills your point. ;)

Those people don't make those decisions just to tick off 744 captains.

No Carl. It is all a grand conspiracy to get you old geezers to retire early ... so I can have some movement.

RA is fNWA, but not nearly all of his underlings. Not even close. But even if it were true, it has nothing to do with my point. And if you don't know my point by now, you don't want to listen.

Do you even have the ability to look at a series of facts, and respond in a manner that actually relates to those facts?

Do you? Seems to me that you are the one who continues to miss the facts. We all want a better company Carl. Want you want, apparently, is a return to the way it was for you. Its not gonna happen. You need to move on from trumpeting all the great virtues of a company that no longer exists and constantly berating the faults of the one that does.

We all have our prisms Carl. You claim that we can't see beyond ours. You, most definitely, can't see beyond yours.

Because you continue to. You seem to think that your arguments have merit. I tend to think mine do as well. I'm just pointing out that your arguments are every bit as biased and jaded as anybody else on this forum. Somebody has to point it out to you. I'll take that on. You keep spouting crap and I'll keep pointing it out. Deal?

Somebody moved your cheese, right? Get over yourself. You have 12,000 fellow brothers and sisters who are going through the same ****. We're really not all out to get you.

Well, the first quarter of 2010 didn't go well with our profits coming from one airline. Here's hoping for the rest of 2010.
Carl

I've got no data either, but I think they said 2Q-4Q would be better cost savings.

There is a new VOL 1 btw on the 88, if you're in ATL swing by and pick a copy up. But by december there might be another one. I'm just dieing to go read mine, might do it tonight.

Carl, Buzz, Shiz,

It's Friday night, FTB or Super should be posting pictures of "half naked" cheerleaders or something. I recommend, and take that for what it's worth as I'm just a newbie here, but I recommend that we "sit back from the keyboards for a second" and take a deep breath. Everyone just grab a COLD beer!! (Not if you're flying at the time!)

None of this IT, Scheduling, VISINE TALK, Promotion, Hiring CRAP is worth getting into the "name calling" Flight Info $h!t that this board has been so good at staying away from!!

Fly safe,
