I am serious as a heart attack. Kids don't sit Indian style anymore. Now they sit "criss cross apple sauce"
My kids sit indian style and I make them play on the highway. The other day I took my six year old to the store without her booster seat. 
I have no idea how we survived the two mile trip.

Its each pilots contractual right to WS. It may be that even though they are out of reserves there is no chance a GS will get down to him. If he is number 1 in the category it might be dumb but there are many reasons to WS even when they are low on reserves.

More importantly should we always be able to go alv+15? With alvs in the low 70s it was one thing, with the high ALVs of our current pwa the *****s( while within their contractual rights) are assisting the company in putting off hiring and advancement. Next contract maybe we should tie the max pick up to the alv. The higher the alv the lower the pickup(ie 72 alv max pu 15, with decreasing pickup as the alv rises)

Certainly better than Harry Alger, Dave Greenberg, Gary ???? and Joe Kolshak. But I though Dave Bushy was pretty darn good. My impression is Bushy did a better job representing pilot interests to senior management than SD does. SD is certainly no slouch, but "plays better with senior management".

Good idea. I'm amazed at the number of pilots we have here who apparently don't like being at home.

Harry Algers by the way was pushed out because of his instance that all jet aircraft be flown by Delta pilots. I would think that would be a popular opinion on this forum.

Also, flt ops wanted to hire and weren't funded. This summer, the summer of the GSWC, if we play our cards right will kick start hiring and SD will have been proven right.
