So, "brah," I take it that you thought that memo said they'd be placing a widebody order in 2013? Enjoy the view with those Widget colored glasses on.

It's ironic--I guarantee the execs possess absolutely none of the "Widget Punch" sentimentality they're counting on us to believe in. That's why they enjoy huge bonuses--and why we're just tickled pink when we manage to abscond with a few crumbs from their table.
I can't imagine what you could do if you were TRYING to be negative...

Quick question. Assuming there will be a profit sharing payout for 2012, does anyone know if you have to be on active status on Dec 31 in order to receive any payout or would one (me) who retired on Aug 31 be eligible for a pro-rated amount? Thanks

A former pilot whose employment has been severed for any reason, including retirement, resignation, or termination for any reason, will receive, at the same time as pilots, an award based on his annual compensation for the period in which he earned such compensation, as will the estate or designated beneficiary of a deceased pilot who earned such compensation.


Looks like good news for you Red.
