As do I, but I fear that its days are numbered. Huge % increases have been proposed by the current administration even after the promise was made that it wouldn't happen. I understand some increases are necessary, but ~40% in a year is not the way to go so others can jump on disability and SNAP.

Not like we have much of a choice with the PPO going away. :mad:

I watched a couple of episodes of that. Liked it, but couldn't get into it since I was jumping in somewhere in season 2 or 3 (I think). I'll have to start from the beginning with it. FX's "Justified" is a good one as well...not in the same class as Breaking Bad, but still a pretty good show. The one on my must see list some day is "The Wire." I've heard it's a really good series to Netflix as well.

Better, IMO.

Yeah, I know, but it's rare on ATL M88B in my experience. First time I've seen it outside of a holiday month.

Nope can happen any month. 60% in any month and 50% in a holiday month.

I agree, rare in August. The bottom 10-15 of the reserves on DTW 7ER B got unstacked in August for the first weekend.

Well, Buzz, we'd have to make a choice.

At SWA, you have pay for training.

At Delta, you have pay for airplanes.

I guess since we already paid for the planes... :D



You actually paid attention. Very good. Although I dont use the word downgrade. Not a term I use.

We still need to get you a copy of the PWA. Since you have a smartphone you know you can download one. I mean since the TA was dropped well over a month and a half ago...



or what category? Bill, aren't you MSP 73N B or maybe it was ATL M88 B? I thought that's what your avatar said before you went to 717A?

Funny stuff. I am senior on the ATL M88B, hoping to go to the 717A someday when I can hold it as a line holder. I used to fly the 767 Dom in ATL, but all I was doing was allnighters. No thanks. MSP 73N?? Really? Thanks for all the contract help though. Just remember, short duration, fewer RJs, ratio, 20% raise 3 years, good deal. Have a great night.
