Wouldn't you rather be wrong at 18 and it go up further than be wrong at 18 and it go down?

I had a conversation with a friend the other day who still had his stock. I asked him what he was waiting for before he sold. He said DAL was going to 50. I illustrated for him that the options market wasn't even pricing 50 in two years. Actually, if gave odds of making 30 in two years at 7%.

If you haven't sold, examine why you haven't. There are many people who simply cannot take a gain. Are you one of those people? It's a high class problem.

It's not a good idea to invest in the entity that provides your paycheck. Take the money and invest in something else. You can always put it into cash until you are seized with the next big pilot idea. There is a reason why you can't buy DAL stock in the 401(k) and the DC Plan.

Sell some now, I bet Richard is.

Probably because it pays less than the first officer position on the other planes. Considering the junior 320 captain is an 87 hire, I think that we are better off.

But wasn't RA in Tech Ops (MX) back then? I have (had) a good friend who was a Mechanic for NW in about 1985 (?) (then later went on strike, got locked out) he told me that it was RA's idea to buy Airbuses, way back when.

He (my buddy) did a lot of wrenching on the A320's when they were new.

Stable approach practice. Just watch until you have the sight picture. Mach 2.0 in a glider ... and dispatch isn't giving them the weather ...LOL.

Shame we parked that thing just as cheap HD cameras were appearing everywhere.

Thanks, Timbo. I was thinking of buying tickets for wife and kids, and jumpseating for myself. I have to go on a certain day, so I'll just buy tickets. Thanks for the info.

Look at the displacement of that rudder! He must be going stop to stop! Must have hit some wake turbulance, from the 200 preceding 50 seat RJ's departing the ATL for the Alcoa plant! :D

No sterile cockpit < 10K

RA got here in 90 as a deputy general council, think he was Tech Ops in 97 or 98. The 330 was order by Rothmeier in 89.

I think you meant 320. RA ordered the 330s in 2000ish.
