Because 125 of the 50 seaters are under a long term contract that management can't get out of yet no matter what contract cave-in you want to advocate for us.

Well, you came from the Delta MEC bureaucracy and were voted out by this new group of reps. Now you're back suckling at ALPA national doing the same work you got voted out for at DALPA. So, does it really matter where someone comes from slowplay?

Keep spinning it Carl..... Take an irrelevant fact... yes I said fact... (that being that the cost was neutral to Delta Air Lines... the corporation) and try to make it something it isn't. As you like to say "sad". Reeks of doughnut desperation.

Well Propaganda 101 states that when one can't successfully refute the facts, the messenger should be belittled in an attempt to indirectly downplay the merit of the fact said messenger presented.

Should the attempt have been one to let FTB be shown as hypocritical as his position was owed to regional experience...then I'm afraid that is also a swing and miss as he was an accomplished aviator and analyst prior to that experiment.

I'm struggling to really determine how that was a constructive question really...slowplay's that is

I really can't believe that there's not more NCAA cheerleader pics a'flyin right now. There's hiring afoot, meat of college football season is upon us, and most Atlanta transiting FO's got their baths knocked out today during the walkarounds.

Is this FTB trivia hour or is there a discussion at hand?

I don't know if he quit. I was simply being a smarty pants. His regional experience isn't that relevant since he started in turboprops, and never flew anything larger then 50 seaters.

This is about the 20th time consecutively that you've done this. Do you know the difference between "then" and "than"?

Well, since everyone seems to want to know, I did flew this

Then this

But in retrospect, if I could chose all over again, I'd rather have flown the airplane below in EWR instead of the first plane and it'd been better if Coex never had been allowed to have the airplane above.
