Sounds like a "fleeting opportunity." That didn't work out so well last time. :eek:



A "fleeting opportunity" to update the "fleet." Pun intended? :D

After reading the 3q earning call transcript I see used WB's in our future.

I vaguely remember a communication from DALPA about another way to verify a sick call. It had to do with a call in clinic that cost $25, I think. You called this place and discussed your symptoms with someone and could get some sort of a note that could be used to verify a sick occurrence. I think it is meant for occasions when your Dr is not available.

Anyone else remember this? I am looking for contact info for this place. Am I remembering this right, or do I need to take my meds again?

The next thing he said was that he loved seeing our ALPA guys on the hill, and that they were doing great work up there.

Hard to get a better plug for the PAC.

He is a great supporter of ALPA issues. I have had the opportunity to meet with him a few times, and it is always an enjoyable experience. He makes time for ALPA and our issues.

Yep. And the plug and 2 above the plug also got off on Thanksgiving. Boy times sure have changed since I was the plug in LAX in 2000. :D

That's firing a very distant synapse but I can't remember when or where.

Am I the only one that thinks the 5:15 average day is a HUGE hit to QOL? I'm away from home more days in Nov than any month in the last 2 years and less money in my pocket due to buying hotel rooms. Commute-able trips seem to have almost vanished in ATL M88 category.

How many day trips do you bid and what days? I usually bid 4 day commutable trips starting on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday and they seem the same.

All that glitters is not gold.
