No you guys are all wrong, that is an F-20! ;)

didn't need an IP on that thing.

So if you went to Top Gun in 1986 flying the most advanced fighter ever, the F-14, your primary flight training would've been on a radial right?

That's awesome. They should've played that up in the movie, maybe replace that sex scene with a Trojan.

My lottery plane.

okay, I'm done bidding.

Now to go to AIG aircraft salvage website to see if there is any C-172N models or later with hail damage that are affordable.

What? Hey, it's better than looking at porn, but admittedly nowhere near as respectable.

Yeah ... I'm just glad they had an F14 in the back of the classroom. Just like my Delta indoc, where they had a broken MD88 and a huffer cart towed to the back of class ... they put the Chick Fil A over by the drooping slat for the new hires, which was nice.

Don't be all done bidding yet. We need to hear the story of how you 'splained to the wife how you bought an airplane needing "a little work.

Having flown a few hail damaged, had to find "the right guy" to sign the annual, I can tell you they go fine. They put dimples in golf balls to go straighter and farther ... yeah that.

Gentlemen,

You have done a great job. Sailing Fun has been exposed and humiliated. It's Friday, how about some Underboob or at least some cheerleader pictures?

(I would post some, but I've already been counseled for this activity.)

Exposed for what? Trying to insure we get the best contract possible?The only way to do that is be smart, reasonable and understand the system we have to negotiate within. DALPA has done that remarkably well and taken us from a airline on the edge of collapse back to the top of the industry. Results are what counts!

Sailing

What does the final product C2015 end up being in your book?

I will go first.

When management is returning billions to the shareholders and making record profits, making any concessions is insane.

Date of signing May 2004 Delta hourly rates plus 3%. 5% per year after that.

3 year duration.

Per diem $2.95/$3.95 plus .10 per year

44 days of vacation UAL match

Air tight Improved JV language with rapid and severe penalties.

$4000 annual company contribution to medical savings account.

4:30 vacation day and training day.

Restoration of C2012 profit sharing reduction.

I admit this is not "historic" but this is the very minimum.

So sailing, self-proclaimed champion and protector of furloughed pilots, are you going to share the details of your story about how your robust advocacy resulted in you being PERSONALLY THREATENED BY THE CEO OF DELTA? After all, YOU brought it up.

I think it highly unlikely that the CEO would GAS about anything you, me, or anyone else thinks. I assume when you say "stand" that you mean your position on the matter, and not that you took some kind of "action." Whatever the case, let's hear the details.

Again, what specifically did he say to you? Or were any words used at all? Did he give you the evil eye? Wink at you? Cast a hex on you?

Let's see the letter sailing that you profess required "guts" to sign.
