Tiger came thru again... 0-3.. but he was winning when the match was called, so I guess he had that going for him.

Last cycle(2009), had the Nomination Meeting September 24th. The election window opened on October 15th at 10 am and closed November 10th at 10 am.

We had one at Western with a similar story. He reportedly was an Eastern-Bloc pilot that defected with a MiG in the early 60's. He eventually made his way to the US, got all his ratings and was hired. Of course he had no official birth records, and according to legend he miraculously became 3 years younger to get hired at the age of 23.

I noticed that my seniority moved up 135 spots this month thanks to RMA.

Not that it matters for me. I always seem to be on SC -- regardless of seniority, buckets, days available -- and when I ask them about it, they always have a reason.

If I passed along misinformation, please forgive me.
Misinformation may have been a poor term to use. I just didn't know that "If needed for SC" was treated in that manner. But like you said, even if it does, we seem to get peppered with so many more SCs these days it probably isn't a player.

Your participation in maintaining confidentiality is appreciated. If I personally catch someone trying to share your identity, I most certainly would delete that as soon as I saw it.

I do not know of any mods who are compensated. It is a volunteer position. I've never know it to be any more then that. I don't play the IP address game, but that's me. I can't control what other mods do. Like the airline biz, I'm just a pawn on the giant chessboard.
Puuleeezzeee! Every time I've seen a particular mod around the lounge at work he's always telling pilots who he thinks all the screen names are to other APCers. Not all of you are impartial. I've heard him talk about who he suspects Check, Slow, Scoop, 80kts, Denny, Sailing, George, Super, Dal88, Buzz, T, Bar, Ferd, Alpha, Nu, cni - not to mention you and plenty of others. This board is far from anonymous and it seems to get less anonymous the more you lean towards ALPA...just sayin' and I've had Mods PM me based on my specific IP. It isn't cordial it's tracking.

I do believe you to be as fair as they come here however.

Why would he GAS about Mizzou anyway? He already won that game.. Besides, the Dawgs go to Mizzou and win by 3 TDs, and barely get by at home against UT??? Really? Personally I think he's getting ready for the critics when they go all Chicago Cubs... as usual. (I really hope ya'll kill the gators though for a change)
Hey T, Kathy Lee and Hoda are on the UT campus live this morning....don't ask me how I know this.

It was a celebration of not being on the wrong side of the score. It was a good display of offensive power and a bad display of defense on the part of both sides.

You take the victories where you can find them. I was impressed by the Vols offense. Hopefully they will keep Dooley around for another year. We secretly root for him, unless he's playing against Georgia, because Barbara is like everyone's mom. We hate to disappoint mom.
