I'm not confident ORF's runway won't crater in the coming weeks.

Yeah Emirates, Eithad and Qatar are great... but every 10 or so years we bomb their neighbors.

Speaking of which, remember that funny SNL press conference skit back in Gulf War I "What day will we start the ground war?" "Where are our weaknesses and how could Iraqis most exploit those weaknesses..." vulnerable for attack, Saturday Night Live Clip (Cold Opening: Cheney and Lt. Col. Pierson) - IMDb

Cheerleading is a tough life. It takes a toll.

Could you do this all day?




Don't answer that.

 

Leine,
Let me just segue this by saying that I am not a DPA supporter and can't see myself backing the group in the near future. My gripes with ALPA are just that, with ALPA and in no way translates into support for DPA. It's tiresome to hear when a criticism is made against ALPA it is assumed that the person making the critque is throwing their support behind DPA.

You draw a distinction between ALPA National and our MEC, but I consider them one in the same as it seems the direction/influence of ALPA National is echoed through our MEC and trickled down to our LECs. While I realize administratively the MEC and National leadership structures differ, I still find the relationship tightly woven.

The perception (to me at least) is National passes down it's influence to the MECs who in turn pass down the guidance to the LECs who must then get the pilot group on board. I feel that this process is completely backwards and it has evolved into this because their is an assumption that majority of pilots are selfishly out for themselves and incapable of deciding the appropriate direction for this profession.

I have always been impressed with the knowledge, expertise, and feedback that I have gotten from the Reps I have interacted with, but I still can't help to ignore the MEC direction/guidance that the LECs are left to defend and justify. I'd like to see the tone change with ALPA.

Not trying to attack you or anything here, just offering up this junior guy's opinion.

 

I really enjoy that movie. We have to do a lot of fast forwarding though.

But I have to say, that little green guy



and that horse



crack me up.

 

I could. But would anyone want to watch?

 

Take her to see Planes ... relief for you and her.


Tangled is, BTW, my favorite Disney / Pixar collaboration. 140,000 strands of hair and something like 174,000 frames. Someone drew something like 25,200,000,000 strands of hair. They had to develop their own physics engine to make it flow properly. When you understand the tech behind that cartoon, it's pretty jaw dropping.

 

Elvis,

You don't vote & don't participate in polls. Then complain that you aren't represented.

Frankly, you passed on an opportunity to voice your concerns in a manner which is more effective than our web board conversation.

Just sayin.

 

Apparently there's a 1 in 50 chance

 

The last call I got from a NH phone number was from a DPA member asking me to renew my card. Ergo...

 

Only if you were wearing those shorts.

Which brings up another issue -- maybe we wouldn't need so much Gold Bond in the summer if management would let the MD88 guys wear uniforms like the Reno Sheriff's Department.
