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

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.

What do you think a $5 bet in Vegas that the first play of the game would be a safety would pay out?

Let's start with the "special committee" which, several months ago, had racked up $60k some-odd in FPL, all so DALPA bureaucrats could jet around the system to drink, buy beer, and spread the DALPA gospel...on our dime.

Didn't they go to Paris, too?

What's the final FPL tally and beer tab from that boondoggle?

Sounds pretty cushy to me. Not to mention, a complete waste of our dues money.

For the NY Giant safety it was 50/1.
