They should go to Denver and dump fuel.

We could elevate the L&G to the very top of the APC world, as the crown jewel of this site and, indeed, the internets.
Hear hear!! here here? Either way... right on Sink!

Who do we call if we think vacation weeks were not correctly awarded? A week I asked for shows as available and I did not get that week, yes it was higher then my awarded choice.

This was from the last award, I discovered it when looking to bid today.

Ed, ed. I won't call you naive...well...yes, I will.

Follow the money. Those "expert" scientists are beholden to those of a certain political bent who provide the funding. Of course they are spring-loaded to produce the conclusions that will bring more $.

You did refer to "climate change" scientists as in the "majority" and as "experts;" presciently, you did not identify them as "credible" or "unbiased."

Hopefully you employ a better-honed bull**** detector when you engage in union work on our behalf.

Wow, just read the latest ops update email. Sounds like a complete operational meltdown in Atlanta. I got the impression they tasked anyone in the building to rebuild broken rotations...with predictable results.

Well Purple, my old man was a biologist and was only beholden to the university which employed him. He says it's real. Just cause Delta pays my check doesn't mean I can't be critical if the company does something I dislike, which I consider analogous to your statement that peer reviewed scientists can't be unbiased.

I'm fairly new at this, but I hit a gallon with my latest donation
Thanks for asking about that. I'll reengage with my local Red Cross people who denied me the last time I attempted to donate. Was at 2 gallons and would be well on my way to 3 if they hadn't turned me away.

Well Spud, my brother is also a biologist (PhD), and he says "we don't know if it's real. If it is ever proven to real, given the small sample size of the available data, we can't possibly know conclusively what might have caused it."

We could go round and round. You won't change my mind, and I won't change yours. I'll leave it there.

Yep, most of the climate change scientists are European liberals. We would need at least another 50 years of data to prove that climate change is real.
