That is asinine and unreasonable. Give the new leadership a fair shot. Jeez. Everybody's a critic I guess...

You might be right that most everyone is a critic, but some have to play the morale officer, so it takes all kinds.

Maybe George would also accept/ have acceptex a report from the previous administration? It's about the numbers, not the author.

And please quit yelling. !!!!!

I think his beef is that the last guy and his team never did it.

I see. I tend to think about all of this in terms of numbers, not politics. Demonstrated compliance is good. Lack of either is bad. I'm open-minded about the next administration. I didn't know we replaced a secretive admin for a good one, but it's true that I've not seen any bulletins on the TA JV recently. So i'm going to trust that the new admin will get the numbers out, so let's give them a chance. Add this on the list above the VA discussions, then the Pinnacle TA.

Does that work, Shiznit?

Hey Carl,

Instead of a quick drive-by posting, why don't you hang out and join in the fun?

Happy 2013!

Fix one problem and another will arise, Around 1998 a UAL 767 had a dual engine Fame out departing Hawaii - not sure which airport but it was totally pilot induced (improper x-feed). They restrated them and diverted. Oh Well. :eek:

Schiz,

Not sure what makes you go off like that...

"Asinine and unreasonable..." to give kudos for a report and wishing for a similar report showing trends for the Transatlantic JV...

"Seriously?"

This is the second detailed report on the AS codeshare and there hasn't been a similar report published on the Transatlantic JV...

Cheers
George

FYI, the International Affairs and Alliances Committee has a PowerPoint from November which depicts some stats and percentages associated with the JV.
