Could it be our airline just has low T ? Could testosterone supplements make the difference for Delta Air Lines?

... wonder when they will make the GO a "ranch" and get rid of the stairs and insist on a front loading washer ... Mom, is that you in there ?

He has previously made statements like that, but occasionally the "cheese" moves and so do motivations and goals.

Agnostic mice?

Tigers don't change their stripes. Mice get eaten.

Funny that morons are taught to happily move on when a manager through a breach of fiduciary duty steals the cheese. Frankly, I hate that stupid book and try to throw as many copies as I can in the garbage. Leo Mullins and Michelle clearly took a lifetime supply of cheese with them when they left the building.

A real man wouldn't need a hook attached to his waist - he'd just simply use his strong, manly hands to keep a grip on the towline.

No you can't. If you could, then all of us would be deprived from not seeing it.

This is not the nipple you're looking for.

Those two mortgaged this company and what was our careers. Yes?

What are RA and Co. attempting to do?
-Payback that debt?

-Reduce the debt service to dampen the boom-bust that this industry is known for? (and in turn massive hiring followed by massive displacements and furloughs)

-Reduce Cap ex while keeping their reach in a world market (Ala JV's that give some promise of growth to DAL pilots when they can pay cash for jets, but not the high level of capex and burden of asinine debt load when the capex for that rapid growth remains and the markets are no long viable to operate?

Which means, you, I and the other 11,800 pilots are trading the rapid progression that other pilots on the list have seen to only see it taken away, for stability and the ability to keep your job in a down cycle.

Right or wrong, that seems to be the direction we have gone down, and to date, we have all stagnated, and the backwards movement that a down cycle normally brings has only effected about 5% of Capt's and 7% of FO's Historically that is significant.

Rogue 24,

Good post.

Can't blame a mouse for wanting to see the World past Jackson Mississippi ....

How do JV's help prevent Delta furloughs in a downturn, Rogue? Isn't the purpose of the entire evolution to protect MARGINS, even in a down cycle?
