F-4 guys joked that the A-10 could land on a carrier -- if the boat would slow down. :D

Don't forget the A-10 bird strike reinforcements done to the trailing edges.

TWA lawsuit settlement has been reached. No dues increase, no assesment. .

I brain dumped all that about 7yrs ago :D that sounds about right. No slats and a super critical wing so speeds are higher than you'd think!

After the lawyers get their slice, each pilot should be left with a Happy Meal.

It's hard to guess the numbers, but my back of the envelope calculations say not much $$$. The lawyers will take some, then divide the rest between the 2,300 or so TWA pilots (best numbers I could find) doesn't leave a huge amount for each pilot.

Maybe what a Captain here will get in profit sharing next month - that's my guess.

And the settlement is just a hair shy of some numbers floated around too.

Hurry! Put your DPA card in, we need to leave ALPA before they assess all of us for the settlement; dues will skyrocket and bankrupt us all!:rolleyes:
