Desperado 12-11-2012 07:31 AM

Never had that happen, but I did get a passport with my name spelled wrong on it. I was too lazy to get it fixed as I was in college. I slowly started morphing into the misspelled name as a passport is the highest form of identification. When I renewed it 10 years later, I got it fixed, then I started slowly morphing back to my real name.


Soooooo... I'm guessing that they left the 'c' out of your name and you were known as 'Hokeypilot44' for all those years.:)

Very impressive.

Now if you could just password protect it, ALPA could have live webcast meetings and pilot involvement would improve. Probably.

Notes from Conference Call:
  • Codeshare - Intra US & UK
  • Eventual immunized JV
  • Jv maintained separate from AF / KLM
  • Virgin not joining SkyTeam (looking at it)
  • Virgin running premium lounge in T4 at JFK

Oh and about a million references to how great, good looking, smart, brilliant and better the Virgin brand is.

Premature to talk about route strategies. Will wait for JV approval.

Richard Anderson's notes:
Virgin Atlantic to move into our new terminal 4 in JFK. .

Since Virgin pilots are the lowest paid widebody pilots in the World does this mean that Delta pilots will never fly to London again?

Define "involvement."

I don't know, but, the hairs on the back of my neck are raised in a pattern that says "alter ego" in Braille.

Just imagine what we could do now with Virgin America...

Don't think for one second Branson just sold the licensing rights to his product's name to a bunch of awful airline executives.

I agree. Hopefully it is just stroking of the Branson "ego".

So we have JV's now with Virgin Australia and Virgin Atlantic. Is Virgin America next? They've been losing money for some time now.
