I remember hearing about this Ted Bundy guy when I was growing up. I think it was one of those crappy cheapo documentaries.

problem was I kept confusing the name with that other guy, you know, the one who scored four touchdowns in a single game back in high school and who married that woman worth the big hair who always called for him to go upstairs.

WRT retirement (well not JUST retirement)... I have one piece of advice. If you fly over 80 hours, fill up your bank. ASAP. Especially if you are planning on an upgrade in either seat or aircraft.

Filling up the bank question-- if we just fill the bank now, before Jan, will we be able to pull it out in Jan at the 8.1% higher wages (or whatever the raise is)? I've not used the bank, so not super sure when/why I would do so, but in low / out-high seems good?

When a guy does this to a girl, it's called letting her down easy. We put out - signed that TA for them. Now we are wondering whether they really love us, or were they just saying that late at night in the back of the car? Our mommas always told us, why buy the cow when you can buy all the milk in Alaska, France, and the Netherlands for free (or something like that). We might get mad at them now for taking advantage of us. They're not worried, though. They'll see us again in about three years, tell us how beautiful we look, and we'll forget all about this time.

Of course it has to be the TA and has absolutely nothing to do with less block hours, a weakening economy etc. It certainly must be the TA.

So stagnation is the result of the economy? I just guessing here but if we grow and start hiring ALPA will claim it's a result of the TA. Things are bad=blame economy. Things are good=look what we did with the TA! Typical political BS
