Why?

Because they are CHEAP.

You can't get much cheaper than FREE. Richard wanted Microsoft as a huge corporate client and Microsoft just happened to have a bunch of tablets laying around, unsold. Can you say Frequent Flyer Miles?

Did anyone really think he was going to PAY Apple for 40,000 tablets, when Microsoft was going to give us theirs for free? :rolleyes:

Not to worry, we are going to be making a ton of money out of SEA, due to hauling Microsoft Execs around the world. Never mind the OS, you'll figure it out eventually while you are flying our new A330's from SEA to everywhere, it'll give you something to play with, while you can't get any rest in that Crew Rest seat in Business Class.

Richard is an airline pilot's CEO... a cheapwad's cheapwad. :D

Like the rampers get?

I think a buddy of mine at RAH said it was 4 hours of holiday pay on top of whatever you made that month. Sure that's like a $100 for some but hey, it was still 4 hours on top and not lost in the "towards guarantee" ambiguity language.

Which explains why we got 4.5, 8, 3, 3 and paid for it with a 33% reduction in profit sharing when the company is making record profits.

Any wonder he wanted to open Section 6 early?

Played?

Yup. :rolleyes:

Auburn has the opportunity to beat Saban before he leaves for Texas, I'm not scared, I'm excited. :D

It's something Auburn has done in the past and beat Saban before he goes to another job. :D

The amount you go over the ALV is not the issue. Being scheduled 1 minute over ALV can have the same consequence in many instances as being scheduled 15 hours over ALV. Besides the lost time off if the pilot chose to take it, it has significant staffing consequences.

If anyone who voted yes for C2012 has any questions as to why they are still stagnated they need to take a long look into a mirror. The ALV + 15 was a big concession that is prolonging our stagnation.
