Wasn't OR 8 the one from the book/movie Coma? The one where you go in and don't come out.

As a friend said, isn't that indicative of where we are headed.

Exactly. Guys thinking this is some sort of big deal are whistling Dixie. We had nothing before, we have nothing now. The chess move will be if VA actually goes under and we have a lose clams to ALL the slots.

Sorry guys, this discussion is another waste of time Think dry hole, from a pilots perspective, in oil man talk.

I was hoping they were looking to retire some of the "over 70" crowd, and replace them with the same amount, under 30!

But if they are only going to hire 400, to replace the 1000, then yeah...that's where we are headed.

Mmmm...smell the synergy!

When you say oil man talk, do you mean men that pump oil from the ground or men who go to watch women wrestle in baby oil?

Ferd, I have some questions about the VA thing but I'm going to move it on over to the VA thread just to keep it contained somewhere. And I'm going to try and read all 86 posts before hand... maybe...
