). Glock was very helpful over the phone and said send it in and we'll fix it or get you a new one. They said they were going to throw in a couple more clips in when it gets sent back for my inconvenience and because i had to pay to ship it back. I'm looking forward to getting it back and taking it out shooting again, I really think its a fluke and am really happy with the size of 27 for a carry weapon. we'll see
The pilot discount is around $150 cheaper than retail. A Gun store near me wanted $550 for a G27, so i was more than happy to get it for $398

Part of me says give it a rest, but Scoop asked me some questions that I'll answer...
I saw the "Lawson Letter" a week ago for the first time. I think it's embarrasing. I was not at Comair when it happened, nor was it common knowledge at my previous job, nor did any Comair reps mention it during my interview. I'm just trying to stand up for the guys that had nothing to do with that fiasco.

I could read it that way too. Instead of mixed message I could have said ambiguous message.
I Really like your cut and paste editing job. You make inferences about my post but gloss over the part where I say "...Pilots are individuals and should be treated as such."
You requested that I cut and paste any posts that said the entire pilot group was culpable. I believe I did that. Anyone can click on the arrow to see the full context of the quotes I pulled. I thought I left the "pilots are individuals" part in your post.
And when I say "Pilot who were not on property have no culpability whatsoever." You attempt to turn this into "All COMAIR pilots are culpable."
No, I say it can be inferred. If not A equals B, then A could equal not B.
As far as I can tell the only one who says "All COMAIR pilots are culpable." in your cut and paste job is you.
And what do you think of the other four posts?
I don't agree with the statement that "All COMAIR pilots are culpable." But I also don't agree that there is no culpability whatsoever for any COMAIR Pilots.
Fair enough.
JC Lawson and his crowd tried and succeeded in screwing the DAL furloughees.
Do you disagree with this point?
No, it sounds like Lawson "and his crowd" rubbed plenty of salt on those wounds.

Anybody know if this means that price expires, ie. the price is going up again, or is the entire program ending?
And I'll say again, I'm referring to the public HK website, open to public viewing. I am not referring to any FFDO / TSA / DHS website, offer, or program.
Thanks

It's that wadded up piece of material under your hat, but that's not important right now.

Yes... HK told me that as long as the papework is in and approved you will get your handgun.
Otherwise it is finished October 31, 2009.

Since ACL is adding to the inane pratter that seems to have permeated this thread as of late.. I'm betting that there will be no significant news until post SOC... anybody? But then... the bloodbath begins...
