Your point is well taken also. There are issues on which we are too accommodating.

That was an interesting cheerleader shot from an NBC camera during the game.

I'd show it, but I'd get another infraction.

The poop is hitting the fan a bit harder with the 717 delays it seems. No rotations will be published for it in October, and it sounds like they are scrambling to figure out what to do. Even though delta.com still shows the 717 starting on the 19th, when you go and look at the seats available on travel net, it shows 12/138 capacity, which is the A320. Cross checking with iCrew, they have all been converted to 320 rotations. There are only 6 rotations available for the 717, day trips starting on the 26th and one 2 day. Nothing after the 29th.

It'll be interesting to see what they have to say when they finally speak about what's going on. I just got a text that the bid packs are delayed another 24 hours.

As far as 7ER displacements, we'll see what the last minute Ouiji board tells them tomorrow morning. Or do they take number magnets and throw them up against the wall and see what sticks right before putting it out?
I'm betting on the number magnets. Hopefully, none of them decide to stick tomorrow.

johnso- thanks for trying to clean it up, then cleaning up the clean up.
No sir. The DC-9 finally beat me. My back is begging for me to be allowed to stay where I am. But, I wouldn't mind the airplane never retiring. The thing is a tank.

Next time I forget to bid, I'm going to inform the company that, due to "technical difficulties," my bid will be two days late. How do you think that will work?
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the delay of the 717's, though. What can they do about that, besides redo bidpacks and get other fleets to pick up the flying?

All and all, I like the changes they've made this year.
