There are 4 times I am guaranteed to be on the same side as Tsquare. When Tennessee plays Alabama. When Tennessee plays Georgia. When we talk politics. When I post this...

ah, dang. I should've said: "Looks like everyone coming in from behind wants to try it out, everyone in front took one look and said no way, I don't play with that and left."

Then the time was incorrect and you fix it with the times monitor. Is is possible that the Captain did not want to set the brakes until the last possible moment and that with the tow in the chocks were put into place ASAP and it never got set again?

I was pointing out the error in the logic of your post.

I'd be perfectly fine with going to GPS/intertial out if we got paid from door close to door open.

Then we should negotiate that in the contract. It was on my last contract survey and will be on my next. There is however nothing to grieve and nothing the union could even consider filing a grievance about.
I take the entire discussion like this. John Doe has been shoplifting from the same store for years. One day he is caught by new video systems and handed over to the police. His argument to the police is he has been stealing from the store for years and its not fair they installed cameras and he should be released and allowed to continue his theft.
I think we should be paid from when the door is closed. Its not however what the contract says.

I agree. There is a big difference between what the contract says and what a pilot wishes the contract said.

I was talking about how you tried to justify your statement via that flight time calculations haven't changed since the 70s. You didn't understand what I was saying. We agree that there is no justification for a grievance on block out changes.

Heck, at one point in the past few years we had planes that blocked out via beacon, brake, or main cabin door closure. I sure liked flying the ones with the MCD trigger. :) Much more logical.

You should have heard our tango with the MEM approach controller this morning reference the weather. Holy cow. Four runway changes and vectors into the ****. What a cluster. I think we woke him up and he realized there was **** every where. Check out ATC Live at about 1050 z.

News About Delta's RFP
 

March 18, 2013, 2:40 PM
Embraer expects to see substantial sales activity over the next few months involving 70- and 76-seat E-Jets as U.S. major airlines respond to relaxed union limits on regional jets among their regional airline partners, according to the manufacturer’s CEO, Frederico Curado. Speaking with security analysts during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings conference call on March 13, Curado expressed optimism about the prospect of further large-scale sales following bankruptcy court approval a day earlier of American Airlines’ plan to award Republic Airways the right to fly 47 seventy-six-seat E175s under the American Eagle banner. Embraer hopes to close the sale to Republic this week, he said.

American’s business plan calls for it deploy 215 “large” regional jets within its network by 2018. New scope clauses at both United Airlines and Delta Air Lines have prompted requests for proposals to add new equipment to the fleets of their regional partners as well, leaving Embraer, Bombardier and a newcomer in the form of Mitsubishi all vying for the spoils. In December, Delta placed an order with Bombardier for forty 76-seat CRJ900s, all of which it plans to place with its Memphis-based Pinnacle Airlines subsidiary starting in the second half of this year.
FWIW ... about 1.2 billion.
