Or smokes, that oral fixation thing.

 

 

Does anyone still have the colored graphs and handouts used in the road shows for C2012? I was not able to attend. It would be interesting to compare the anticipated growth ALPA claimed was in our contract (717, 739 and reduction in RJs) vs. what the next AE and subsequent AEs will yield. I am not insinuating anything, just would like to compare expectations with reality.

 

RE: bidding the 717
I am a DC9B FWIW

I forsee a lot of it filled by mandatories off the 88 with the junior guys getting it. I think a lot of people are scared of the flying it will do, long days, lots of legs, short overnights, low credit. If you look at the dc9 bid package its not good. I always look at the 88 open time and most of it contains the 5 leg days people hate. I think on the CA side it will go according to seniority but on the FO side I doubt it.
What is the incentive to bid the 717? If you are an FO the top mainly 25% can get a good gig but after that forget it. PLus throw in the new category, non-varied trip mix etc. I think many guys will take a wait and see (look how bad the airbus turned out for ATL guys) I think the DC9 guys may bid it bc its better AC, and the same flying with a new toy. THats my thoughts. I hope I can stay on the 9.

If we can show boobs on APC, can we make fun of them?

I've noticed I can get away with Biden jokes, but if I mention the C I C my posts get removed. Is Uncle Joe non political enough for satire?


Take this post. It shows a completely bare chest, two nipples, but since it has a Pontiac Trans Am it really can't offend anyone, because we all agree, a T-Top Thunderchicken TA is a cool ride. It also has an American Flag on it, and surely a Mod would not force us to take down our flags, right?

Besides, since when has Biden considered a politician ... seriously?

We know exactly how much boob we can show, but who's boobs can be shown remains unclear.

 

Does anyone have an HSA, and invest their Balance through the Optum Health Bank?
Just wondering what other people do and how successful that is. I know DYOD but wanted other experiences.

 

See above ... trying to limit my infraction points.

The post above is the APC version of "The Perfect Country and Western Song."

Bar,

What is the point of posting pics of these political figures? Are you simply trying to make people laugh? Or is there more meaning behind them? When you post a pic of 4 members all from the same party, what point are trying to make? Can you deny that there is a politically fueled motive behind posting those pics? Politics tend to fuel fire more then scantily clad pics. So as a mod I need to decide what tends to result in mud slinging debates. I'm simply being pro active. No one received infractions, I simply removed the posts and ask that we discuss something else.

 

I'd buy a Porsche Cayman before I would consider a Vette. Yeah, you have no where near the horsepower, but the all around package of the Porsche is light years ahead.
