Shortly after the DALPA guys come back to this board and start telling everyone how full of crap they are.

Considering the two primary DALPA guys are out of a job, it will be a bit more subtle from now on. Karnak pops up here and there, but that's about it.

With them out of FPL, and I gave Purple a warning to chill out... it may be a bit less colorful on that line of things.

This is specific graffitti that is being placed in M88 and M90, mainly around the FO's side of the cockpit and our "bag closet" in the back. It is something specific that got managements attention, I presume b/c it means something and they're ****ed!
Just a word of caution to whomever is doing it....

Can I ask why you're in there? That's going a little over board to get the stroller.....unless the kid's mom is hot of course.

While you're handing out warnings to chill... maybe you ought to consider your own advice. If they ever hand out oscars for people who play with poster identities on APC, and people who label others, I think you ought to have two well-written acceptance speeches in your coat pocket.

Which is probably, now that I think of it, the reason us Delta pilots need double-breasted coats. We know we deserve praise and recognition, but not always when they might come.

Anyone jumping from their Delta stock today? Considering the "looming" fiscal cliff and increased long-term capital gains taxes next year?

Any "free" advice/logic/opinion always welcome.

This is weird, a) that people think they might not get caught defacing property, and b) that management is actually expanding precious resources to pursue this.

As far as hidden spots on certain airplanes go, I don't write there, but they're often good for a chuckle. A primitive bulletin board of sorts.

Staying put, but there was an analysts on CNBC or Bloomberg making good points about capacity discipline, and how it might unravel. He also felt LCC got a huge boost based on rumors of an AMR merger, which helped everyone, and the bump is about done.

Then again, add another profitable year, RA hinting at cash for shareholders, and I don't see much downside.

The way I figure, as an investor and employee, I'm hedged in terms of the capacity discipline issue. My expectation is for capacity to creep up, unless maybe RA doesn't let our network go to third place, and we announce something right as AMR and LCC do.

A few months ago, I expected a surprise for LCC with AMR not going for LCC, but it looks like the employees there will get their victory, of the phyrric kind. Parker will be their "reward"
