And I'm bidding the Flying Boats, as soon as we get them!

Marine Air Terminal here I come!

I want new hats, white ones, like those cool pilots in that Pan Am TV show! :D

That number is for pilots on the list as of age 60.

I want new flight attendants, like those cool pilots had in the Pan Am TV show.;)

So I have a football question. Can I ask it here? Are the college refs that are doing these preseason games considered scabs since the regular refs are on lock out?

Hey, I'm still flying with the Original PA F/A's! :o

I wonder if any of them have grand-daughters flying for us? Lord knows they could!

If that's the case, they should make them use Pink flags!

consider them the GoJets of the ref world. Come on, they're just "pre-season" refs man, it's a different class of ref all together. Who would want to ref one of those games? They're noisy and small. The refs get paid less. As far as I'm concerned, they can fly any of those small DCI games, it will never come back to bite. Uhm, I mean ref those pre-season games. It's not like they're doing the same job as the much more highly paid normal season refs, and can be used at any time to bust up their union-like activities hey?
;)

Whatever they are, they suck.

Regarding the inevitable takeover: Has anyone done the math on exactly how much of a raise American pilots will be given to be on parity with DAL pilots?

I bet it's a lot. Add that to their pensions, and once again, Delta pilots will take it in the pooper while the newly acquired folks rake in the cash. And these guys are from a bankrupt carrier with ZERO future. I'm surprised DALPA hasn't already started telling us why we should be happy with that.

But hey, at least we got a huge payraise and vastly improved work rules in this contract for playing ball with the company. :rolleyes:

Dont forget that they have put the MD-88 cockpit mods on hold as well as are having a terrible time on spare parts for the 90s. Good thing the jumbo RJs are based on 717s instead of mainline fleet count and the ratios allow a huge portion of the fleet to be parked!
