You think he doesn't have control of the roster right now? He won't leave.

Ya heard it here first.

They will do well, but take the big recruits from other SEC teams??? Doubt it. Only 2 things come from Texas.....

For the record...not a Bama fan, just a SEC fan.

he interviewed for the Bears gig before Lovie, he demanded four million and control over the roster. they said no.

the nfl franchises are weary of handing over control of who is on the roster.

however, saban is a failure in the NFL. while we say is all about the money, it isn't always so. i mean how many of us look to QOL trumping pay here? you're not going to win them all, in fact, auburn has more undefeated seasons than bama does in the last 20 years. Nebraska s incredible run ended eventually.

being labeled a failure while watching Pete Carrol make a super bowl run probably eats Saban up. as much as we love college football, the nfl is bigger and somewhere he has wanted to be. The are cfb coaches that have no interest in the nfl, saban is not one of them.

my bet, he goes sooner than later.

And yet, it's a 365-day bid.

Hadn't heard that one. Assuming it's true, what should a 'team-player' who is currently on the -9 (me) bid?

Delta wants you to stay right where you are until you get MD'd to the 717. Feel free to not take that advice.

I get that. And I know that 'what's good for Ma' Delta is good for me'. But that's not always true. Just trying to figure out what's best for my family.

a. for the sole purpose of passenger service, and
b. pursuant to the Hawaiian marketing agreement, and

e. consistent with the terms of Section 1 Q.

I was chatting with an FAA Inspector about 6 years ago, re. the 787. He said nobody at the FAA wanted their name on the certificate! He said they are very worried about what will happen to the pax, if/when that plastic jet catches fire, ie. toxic fumes, to both the pax and firefighters. Also, he said they are concerned about what will happen if/when one crashes.

An aluminum tube will crush and absorb a lot of the impact, and many people will surive the impact, but a carbon tube won't flex and bend like that. It will either bounce up, hard, and snap everyone's neck, or explode into a shower of sharp splinters, neither one of which scenarios is going to be good for live people.

Now...throw in some exploding lithium batteries...

Easily amendable in C2015 with a 4,8,3,3% raises offset by remaining 70 seaters traded 1-1 to 76 seaters and a reduction in profit sharing to keep it cost neutral to Delta

Also, how come JG put out the weekly update vs SD?
