It was also interesting to note one name in particular... a former FAA POI that cause so much discomfort prior to the merger... now he is one of us...

I know the individual you speak of, elaborate....I've always found him to be above board and easy to get along with. Thks

And there is no way I would rather lose to the Brady Bunch. Ever.

I agree T. I heard people talking about Peyton as if he were Moses leading the Broncos to the promised land. His unpredictable last second shifty play calling was going to leave the Seahawk's bedazzled into a stupor while he marches his team down the field repeatedly for the easy win. He is a great QB, no doubt. The battle plan just didn't work out as some predicted it would. Seahawk defense was just too much to overcome. Seattle played well on all sides of the ball including special teams. A remarkable performance and peaking at just the right time.

I must admit, I have never had a problem with this individual either, and I should have refrained from character assassination speculation in the first place. I just thought it was interesting that he would up on our list...

Not that I've observed. Do you have an example?

Don't kid yourself. There are plenty of cushy gigs for guys who don't like to fly at DALPA.

Again, not that I've observed. What gig at DALPA would you refer to as being cushy?

..

I suspect the new hires without a category are flow through pilots who have been held back at their current airline.

My understanding is that a pilot moves from NBC NEW B to an actual category when he completes his OE. Could the pilots who are still NBC NEW B out of seniority be Compass holdbacks?

Just sux for the Broncos..a blowout like that refutes the record setting season they had. I guess Manning did set a Super Bowl record for the most completions..unfortunately 3 of them were to the Seahawks.

As a lifelong Bronco fan having grown up in Colorado with the Orange Crush, it would have been better to lose to the Pats and regroup for next year. Now, all I can hope for is plenty of TV coverage of the Seahawks returning to Seattle on a Delta 76..

Rant over..I need to go find a happy place.

listen to me, i can be your guide, i know how to handle having your beloved team lose and did so recently.

first

second, find an alumnus from the team who beat you and torment them.

if you cannot find someone then PM me and i have an alternative named 80ktsclamp you can use.

its not a healthy way to handle unless feeling good = being healthy.

That's a bold claim.

If you have a specific allegation to make, I would immediately call your local representative so it can be addressed. If you can't get satisfaction from him, then call another.
