Government 101: when people/companies stop using your product (post office) raise rates. When people/companies leave town because the taxes are too high (cleveland) or the schools/services etc are horrid (cleveland), raise taxes to make up the shortfall.

I don't know, but I think CVG is just too close to a better terminal facility in DTW. I don't think they need CVG to be big nor want it to compete against DTW. It's a shame, I'd love for CVG to be going gangbusters.

But how is the Cincinnati MSA doing right now anyways?

Just ask how good this is for Legacy UAL pilots. CAL guys should be careful power grabs are not good for unity going forward...

DAL is much better poised and will do some good things and we will benefit... I am to suffering from stagnation like many, I just personally would want any part of what is going to happen with that SLI integration. Hope I am wrong about their SLI future, but I really feel I am better off here longterm under this MGT team, this contract and overall QOL (for now, things change).... IMHO

Flew the ATR our of JFK to BOS, ALB, DCA, BDL and other points in the NE for over two years, down low, in the crap....never a problem.

The way you operated the boots is contrary to the post-Roselawn AD. At the first sign of ice, boots on, leave them on. The "pop the boots and turn 'em off" method is for Aztecs, not ATRs. Different design. I've spent many thousands of hours in the ATR in ice. Never seen bridging. Never. I think it's a myth left over from the DC-3.

You mean when you look at the CAL threads there is nothing that jumps out at you and says "man, I should've gone there!" ;)

Still, would like DEN. I can't imagine that is junior.

I'm in my 18th year and not even close to the 737....... I'm not sure I'll even be able to hold it or 320 by my 21st year!

NWA320,

Weren't you formerly a DC-9 A? If I recall correctly, you were posting a year or two ago about bidding to the right seat for a better QOL? (Forgive my confusion if I got the wrong poster.)

Once the 717 arrives, and if you were to bid that aircraft, you'd make more per hour than a United (737-5/737-7/319) Captain, and only $5/hour less than a United (757/737-9/737-8/320) Captain.
