Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.
How is that broken?

The first time the Scrappy/Admin team brought us back a deal, both the MEC and the pilot group approved it.

Yes it does. The rest was 100% acceptable, and the controversial part was removed. I don't understand your attempt to make this look like a problem. The pilots we elected to get us a good deal, got us a good deal.

Even with the latest and greatest 767 mods, it is about 20 percent more expensive all in than a narrow body jet.

I mean how can you beat
"Wilmer Mclean had had enough. Two great armies were converging on his farm, and what would be the first major battle of the civil war - Bull Run, or Manassas, as the Confederates called it- wuld soon rage across the aging Virginian's farm, a union shell going so far as to explode in the summer kitchen. Now McLean moved his family away from Manassas, far south and west of Richmond, out of harm's way, he prayed, to a dusty little crossroads called Appomattox Courthouse. And it was there in his living room, 3 1/2 years later, that Lee surrendered to Grant.
And Wilmer McLean could rightfully say, "The war began in my front yard and ended in my front parlor."
The Civil War was fought in 10,000 places from Valverde New Mexico and Tullahoma Tennessee to St Albans Vermont and Fernandina on the Florida Coast. More than 3 million Americans fought in it, and over 600,000 men, 2% of the population, died in it.

Save one to DVR then watch the other right after. Back up plan: If you are out of space, The World Wars is a three part series and they will show all of them tomorrow leading up to the last one.
I hate being such a nerd.

My most enjoyable trips are ones where the other guy/gal is a fellow history buff. The flights go by fast!
