80 / 30 * 16 = 44:16
Vacation = 14 * 3:15 = 45:30
Total pay = 89:46

There is nowhere you can invest today, with the certainty of this technique and get the kind of return you will get, because remember that you take the time out of your bank at your current rate, not the rate at which you put it in....

John Bell is a force of nature and maybe one of the nicest guys in the world.

Most amazing thing I ever saw was him sitting hour after hour in the NRT computer room helping guys do their bids just after the merger. He was like a life guard in a pool full of drowning guys, and he saved us all with a smile on his face. THEN, he would go down to the sports bar and sit and talk computer bidding until........well after I left the bar, so that would be late.

I'm incapable of saying enough good about John Bell. Just a thought, but has there ever been a drive to put him up for Chairmans Club?

Anyone think that with most of the AE being entry level positions, that we will see results later today?

Since I am probably the only one on here that doesn't facebook, you can also go to dal.alpa.org and click on legislative affairs.

I did it and it only took a few seconds.

Regardless of anyone's feelings about ALPA, this is as important for our carriers as scope. Please take a moment to fill out the form. Members of congress actually pay attention to this stuff. Thanks.
