It's a lot closer to what we make when you do the pound to dollar conversion.

If it was a secret approach to SQ how did it end up in The London Times?

Those figures are in pounds sterling.
Although the cost of living is higher over there (along with tax rates).

The way I read it, Delta can basically collect any data it wants from your iPad, and can make any changes it wants to your iPad. Is that how you read it?

No thanks.


Buy a second device to use only for company stuff, problem solved.

Yes, the end user agreement differs from the Flt Ops memo.

I think I'll just wait and let them buy one for me.

That's a lot of engines for 44 jets

So after reading that they have about 750 pilots and Captains make around 176,000 USD (I'm assuming that was averaged). Also represented by BALPA? Is that British ALPA?

It's all that Vitamin G.

Guiness! And nearly impossible to find in NRT!

Vitamin V works as well. Preferably Titos.:D
