Oh, and Wings FTW!

I promise that wasn't me. :) If someone guesses properly, I'll let them know!

I fly the plane more like a drunken gorilla, anyways. :cool:

I'll second that!

I was outed on an 88 jumpseat tonight after like 30 seconds of talking to the FO... I'm apparently making this too easy.

Good meeting you 80.

Nice meeting you as well. I'll say hi to CP for you next time I fly with him. ;)

What's really scary is that facebook matrix search thing. You can find anyone on there with just a few basic pieces of info. That's why I avoid facebook.

Bluejuice, it was a joke. You must have checked your sense of humor with your bags.

Anyone?

Thanks.

I doubt its a story at all. 3b6 is long gone, so all the company has to do is offer the differential between the 737-800 and −900 (50 cents for FO and a buck for CA) and say take it or arbitrate. We established the precident of that differential by agreeing to it in good times, so we would lose. That IMO is the ceiling. Of course, there may be scope opportunities elsewhere...

I've come to the conclusion that ANY negotiation that involve a scope element will be viewed as a cave in on scope. No matter whether it is or not, it will be viewed that way.

I've had good luck banking with USAA and Wings. I use USAA for most things, just so easy to deposit checks, and no ATM fees. Wings is nice to have if I'm in MSP or DTW and need any traditional banking services. I set up transfers between USAA and Wings, and it's really the best of both worlds.

You might be right. But then again, that's how it should be. At least initially. There should be a built in skepticism and a zealous/protective bias towards all things scope. If its truly an improvement, let the comprehensive case be made and we will decide, based on our guarded perspective.

What we can't have are secret LOA's by one person that provide generous rebalancing relief to the company. I don't think there is any chance that would have passed MEMRAT. And good or bad we don't need any more scope deals at any level that is pushed through without a comprehensive vetting by the entire group. No more "we have to pass it to see what's in it, time limited urgent opportunity" stuff.
