It's kind of crazy but elections are 4 years in the making really and truly two years of nonstop political chatter about them. Seems like they take forever. This one will be over before I can bid for December. One way or another it's just kind of crazy.
Not to mention, our MD-88 Denzel movie is around the corner as is Bond and Abraham Lincoln. I am curious about the later, I'd like to recommend to history buffs like Newk and stuff the Abraham and Mary Lincoln A House Divided PBS documentary. The man was a tortured and depressed soul for good reason, but he never stopped moving forward. |

However, there was an interesting perspective floated about the TA/contract. Apparently, the timing of it had nothing to do with RJs and 717s (that was just $h1t for the troops), it had to do with locking down labor costs in order to get institutional investors and lenders to play ball with management for lending/ leverage. |

That was our fleeting opportunity?
Just for the heck of it, I'll toss this out. RA was purty happy about the 717 deal. SWA is going to spend $1B on getting them all ready for us. +717 |

Big A and the board wanted one thing. An investment grade credit rating to refinance 10 Billion worth of debt with. Our quick TA was one step towards that rating. |

Fox News
MSNBC I'll take Fox. I used to watch CNN, until Rudi left... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O-oqWBGm-6...rudi0309bx.jpg I wonder where she'll turn up? http://www.reportercaps.com/Home_Fox...khtiar_020.jpg OH SNAP!!! http://www.midlifebachelor.com/image...iBakhtiar1.jpg |
Notre Dame is normally a bit overrated to me.
Not this year. Very entertaining game. And somehow this needs to be related to Delta. Hmmmm. Hey, remember when our own Buzzpat was on Fox News with Martha, Martha, Martha? http://img003.lazygirls.info/people/...UdlH.sized.jpg +717s |

I know in earlier years that some of the ALPA higher ups were annoyed that the LCAs were given the info and it was posted on here first before they knew about it. Perhaps that's a foundation for where the response came from. |
