Oh, BTW, don't FTB on the AE as it closes on Monday. The 2 year freeze starts on the date you are awarded the AE. Displacements don't count toward a freeze.

It wasn't logic, it was me. I wrote SD and told him that ATTILA was actually invented by NWA. :D

The aircraft are to be delivered in the 2015 time frame, to fly out of SEA and overfly NRT.


You're actually getting my hopes up. That's just mean man. MEAN!!! :p:D

Fire the damn thieves or just turn them into the local police! I hear that is one of the best hotels in the system right now.

The Attila explanation briefings were always ultra-defensive in a pathetic, pleading kind of way. And every once in a while, the company would trot out some "regular line pilot" to preach about how he had found Jesus in the form of Attila RTAs.

"But...but...Attila is responsible for a million slots created or saved! See, we have proof! Just look at this fancy, multi-colored graph that doesn't have any labels!"

You couldn't prove it...but you also couldn't disprove it. Until now, I guess.

Growth widebodies or replacement widebodies?

Cause there's a pretty big difference.

If they are growth, that's a lot of metal to be dedicated to just SEA flying, and would make us even more desperately hyper dependant on AS feed, cause even more AS growth lowering their unit costs and increasing their ability to offer cheap feed to our enemies and increase AA/EK profits which would then turn around and bite out SEA marketshare anyway directly or indirectly.
