You deserve a industry-leading contract, 'cause you're industry leading. You add value to the team.

That should be our (and DALPA's) goal...not three years from signing, or in a couple of cherry-picked areas using the company's/DALPA's jointly formulated fuzzy math.

I believe that, to the extent that the Company is as profitable as it was in the late 90's, we should be compensated as we were in the late 90's (adjusted for inflation).

You've really been digging yourself into holes the last 24 hours. Might be time to put down the shovel for a bit.

Sorry, but that's just way too good to be true!

There are a handful of others, including a DC-10 and 747-200 sim that could be had cheap! I could figure out how to get one into my basement however...
